I]S^TRODtTCTIO:N^. 

It is the purpose of this publication to present in a single volume 
the large amount of data relatmg to the flow and power of Georgia 
streams resulting from the work of the water resources branch of the 
United States Geological Survey, which was begun in the year 1895. 
These data consist essentially of gage heights and discharge measure- 
ments that can be used to show the contmuous daily flow of the 
streams, and of certain river profiles, in the form of tabulated eleva- 
tions of water surface at points along the river, that can be used to 
estimate the available fall at any place. The amount of water 
flowing in the stream and the fall which can be used will determine 
the amount of power which can be developed. A quick formula to 

p 11 Flow in sec. -ft. X fall in feet . i 

use is as follows : — -^ =net horsepower on 

water wheel, realizing 80 per cent of the theoretical power. 

TOPOGRAPHY AND GEOLOGrY. 
GENERAL FEATURES. 

A systematic study of the water powers of the State requires a 
knowledge of the drainage systems, which are somewhat intricate. 

The topography of the State is peculiar. Chattahoochee Ridge, 
which runs from the northeast corner of the State in a southwesterly 
and southerly direction through Gainesville, Atlanta, GriiRn, Fort 
Valley, Fitzgerald, and through the Okefenoke Swamp to the Florida 
line, divides the waters of the Atlantic Ocean from the waters of the 
Gulf of Mexico and forms the backbone of the State. The great 
drainage basins on the Atlantic slope are the Savannah, the Ogeechee, 
the Altamaha, the Satilla, and the St. Marys. Those draining into 
the Gulf are the Suwanee basin, including Suwanee River and trib- 
utaries; the Ochlockonee basin, emptying into Ochlockonee Bay; 
the Apalachicola basin, including Chattahoochee and Flint rivers, 
emptying at Apalachicola, Fla.; the Mobile basin, or Coosa River

system, draining to Mobile, Ala.; and the Tennessee basin, including 
Hiwassee, Nottely, and Toccoa (Okoee) rivers, wliich flow through 
Tennessee and Mississippi rivers, emptying into the Gulf at New 
Orleans. The last basin is cut off from all the others by the Blue 
Ridge Mountains, which run across the northern end of the State. 
Some idea of the diversity of drainage may be had from the statement 
that there are three springs in northeast Georgia within a stone's 
throw of each other that send out their waters to Savannah, Ga., to 
Apalachicola, Fla., and to New Orleans, La. 

The streams of the Savannah, Altamaha, Apalachicola, Mobile, 
and Tennessee basins begin in, and have a large part of their terri- 
tory lying in, the crystalline or granitic region, which is all that part 
of the State lying north of the southern fall line, and east of the west- 
ern fall line. The streams of these dramage basins rise at elevations 
from 900 to 2,000 feet above sea level and flow along the high Pied- 
mont Plateau in a succession of cascades until they come to the fall 
line, where they take their last leap from the granitic bed rock to the 
navigable waters of the younger geologic formations. 

The southern fall line passes through Augusta, Milledgeville, Macon, 
and Columbus, and marks the ancient Atlantic coast line and the 
present division between the crystalline and Cretaceous geologic for- 
mations. Along this line, which is practically parallel to the Blue 
Ridge Mountains, the Cretaceous lies unconformably upon gneiss, the 
surface of which slopes toward the sea at a steep angle, and gives 
unmistakable evidence of having formed at one time a barren rocky 
seacoast similar to that of Massachusetts. 

The western fall line passes through Carters on Coosawattee River 
and Cartersville on Etowah River and marks the ancient coast line of 
the Gulf of Mexico or Paleozoic Sea and the present division between 
the crystalline and Paleozoic geologic formations. The conditions 
along this fall line have no similarity to those along the southern 
fall line. The formations, both crystalline and Paleozoic, have 
been wrinkled, folded, and faulted by lateral pressure to such an 
extent that no contact slope exists between the two formations along 
which percolation could take place. Etowah River below Carters- 
ville shows a hard blue limestone bed rock, out of which many bold 
springs flow into the river, and while the best shoal on the river is at 
Cartersville in the crystalline bed rock just above the fall line, the 
river is a series of shoals all the way down to Rome, where it unites 
with the navigable Oostanaula to form Coosa River. 

The western fall line crosses the Coosawattee in Murray County 
at Carters, which is the head of navigation. The country along the 
Coosawattee below Carters is mainly a pervious shale that drinks up 
most of the smaller streams in driest weather. Although very large 
limestone springs having a good ' flow at all seasons abound, yet 



TOPOGEAPHY AND GEOLOGY. 9 

during long dry spells the streams from most of them become smaller 
and smaller as the distance from the fountain head increases, and 
finally soak into the ground and disappear. 

From the foregoing discussion it will be seen that the largest and 
most important water powers of the State are in the crystalline area 
north of the southern fall line and east of the western fall line. It 
will be convenient, therefore, in this discussion to divide the State 
hydrographically into three areas: (1) The crystalline area in middle 
and northeastern Georgia as above defined; (2) the Paleozoic area 
in northwest Georgia, and (3) the coastal plain lying south of the 
southern fall line and embracing more than half the State. 

THE CRYSTALLINE AREA. 

The crystalline area embraces the Blue Ridge Mountain region, 
with elevations from 1,000 to 4,800 feet above sea level, and the Pied- 
mont Plateau, with elevations from 600 to 1,600 feet above sea level. 
The rivers of the Piedmont Plateau in this region rise at very high 
altitudes and flow over granite, gneiss, etc., with precipitous falls 
in successions of shoals and eddies, between high hills, affording 
excellent sites for dams and canals, and are peculiarly adapted to 
the development of high-head water powers, with a good and con- 
stant water supply. The following table shows the fall on the main 
rivers that cross the fall lines in the State:

The above table gives an idea of the fall to the mile on the main 
rivers of the lower part of the Piedmont Plateau. The upper sec- 
tions of these streams and of their tributaries are even more precipi- 
tous. Some shoals on tributaries are as follows: 

Broad River, 63 feet in 2 miles. 

Tallulah River, 525 feet in 2§ miles. 

Towaliga River, 96 feet in 1,200 feet. 
Neither the rivers nor their tributaries have any regularity in fall; 
it is concentrated in shoals over hard ledges of granite or gneiss, with 
long stretches of gentle flow between. These streams will be consid- 
ered in detail in the body of this report, and each shoal of importance 
will be mentioned. 



10 WATER RESOURCES OF GEORGIA. 

THE PALEOZOIC AREA. 

The Paleozoic area lies from 400 to 1,000 feet above sea level. The 
only river in it with much fall is the Etowah, which at Cartersville 
crosses the fall line from crystalline bed rock to limestone. Between 
this point and Rome the shoals are caused by harder limestone ledges, 
the total fall being 109 feet in 46 miles. The tributaries of this river, 
together with those of the Conasauga, Oostanaula, Coosa, and Ten- 
nessee, furnish a large number of small water powers that are valuable 
for local enterprises, as they are mainly in rich agricultural districts. 
The entire area abounds also in large springs that can be relied on to 
furnish a pure and unfailing water supply for inunicipal and industrial 
purposes. 

THE COASTAL PLAIN. 

The elevation of the Coastal Plain varies from tide water up to 500 
feet above sea level. The large rivers from the crystalline belt cross 
the southern fall line into this area at the following elevations above 
sea level :

Four of these rivers are rated as navigable streams below the points 
mentioned. The Savannah and Chattahoochee have regular steam- 
boat lines to these points, but the Oconee and Ocmulgee will require 
considerable Government work before they can be navigated to Mil- 
ledgeville and Macon, respectively. Flint River is shoaly all the way 
to Albany. It is the only one of these rivers that can be counted on 
for any water power in this area, but on smaller streams there are 
hundreds of good powers well distributed, many of which are already 
developed for local uses. 

This part of Georgia is developing more rapidly as an agricultural 
and fruit-raising region than is any other part of the State. Its pine 
forests are still a great source of wealth, but land that has yielded its 
full crop of turpentine and timber is proving more valuable for cotton, 
corn, watermelons, cantaloupes, pecans, pears, peaches, garden vege- 
tables, and Georgia cane sirup. The climate is mild and healthful, 
the streams are bold and constant, and the supply of artesian water 
is abundant and of the best quality. 



INTRODUCTION* 11 

USES OF WATER. 
IRRIGATION. 

In the arid region of the Western States, where the rainfall is not 
sufficient or is not properly distributed through the year for making 
crops, the most important use of water is for irrigation. In Georgia 
and other Southern and Eastern States the rainfall is much greater 
and more evenly distributed tlirough the year, but, nevertheless, the 
lack of rain at the proper time often cuts a crop to one-half or one- 
third what it would have been with one additional wetting, at the 
time most needed. Thus a small amount of water in storage and 
ready for use will do more good in the East, where it has the help of 
frequent rains through a large part of the crop season, than will a 
much greater amount of water in the arid West, where artificial hri- 
gation must be depended on exclusively. 

Market gardening is one of the most attractive and most profitable 
agricultural pursuits in the South, but irrigation is almost a necessity 
for making the business a safe one. In any event, it can be relied on 
to double the yield of one crop and to enable the gardener to make 
from two to three crops on the same land in the same year. In Geor- 
gia the gardening season is ordinarily from February to July, but 
with irrigation it can be extended to November and even later. In 
Florida the gardening season is in winter, from November to April. 
This is the dry season, but the planters irrigate from flowing artesian 
wells and sliip celery, lettuce, and other vegetables all winter. This 
system is being rapidly introduced in southern Georgia. 

Artesian wells are the ideal source of water for individual irrigation 
plants where they can be had at small expense and where the supply 
is sufficient. 

Gravity systems by means of storage dams and canals are more 
extensive in their application and are practicable on the lowlands of 
river and creek valleys having adjacent hill country from which tribu- 
taries flow at a higher elevation. These tributaries can be impounded 
by large storage dams, and small canals can be cut along the liillsides 
near the foot of the liills to furnish water for irrigating the lowlands. 
A small stream, properly stored, can be made to irrigate a large area 
in this way, as one good wetting at the proper time is all that a crop is 
likely to need. 

Hydraulic rams, which are now manufactured of large capacity, 
can be relied on for pumping water to any desired elevation for irri- 
gating high lands. Some plants of this kind are now in use in Geor- 
gia and are giving good results. The water is pumped up by the ram 
into a large reservoir excavated on a clay hill or made by a dam in a 
high ravine. The water thus accumulated for months is held until 
needed and is run through open ditches onto the fields below the 



12 WATER RESOURCES OP GEORGIA. 

reservoir level. A small stream having a flow of 80 gallons a minute 
and a fall of 20 feet will operate a ram that will pump 15,000 gallons a 
day to a height of 100 feet above the ram. This amount of water, 
stored as suggested, will furnish all necessary irrigation to 10 or 12 
acres in this vState. 

A ram of tliis size takes its water tlirough a 4-inch drive pipe. 
Rams are made in all sizes, from a 1-inch ram using 3 gallons a 
minute to a duplex 12-inch ram using two 12-inch drive pipes and a 
water supply of 1,500 gallons a minute. One of the latter placed on 
a stream having a flow of 1,500 gallons a minute, which is a very 
small creek, will utilize a shoal of 20 feet and pump 288,000 gallons a 
day to a height of 100 feet above the ram. Such creeks are found in 
all parts of the crystalline region and are plentiful in the liilly parts 
of the Paleozoic area and of the Coastal Plain. Any amount of fall 
from 4 feet up to 40 feet can be utilized, the amount of water pumped 
being directly as the drive head and inversely as the lift. These 
improved rams open up great possibilities for cheap water supplj^. 
Their first cost is very moderate, and they pump by water power, 
requiring no attendant. 

Near the coast, where the streams have very little fall, the agri- 
cultural lands are on a low level, from 5 to 15 feet above the streams, 
and the supply of pine wood for fuel is abundant. Under these con- 
ditions centrifugal steam pumps can be run very economically to 
give abundant water for irrigation. 

USE OF WATER FOR DOMESTIC PURPOSES AND MUNICIPAL SUPPLY. 

Pure drinking water is abundant in all parts of the State. In 
north and middle Georgia it is obtained from wells, springs, and pure 
streams. Farther south the best supply is from artesian wells. 
Most of the large cities of north and middle Georgia get their supply 
from rivers. Atlanta uses filtered water from the Chattahoochee; 
Augusta from the Savannah; Macon from the Ocmulgee, and other 
cities of the region from rivers or local creeks. Savannah, Albany^ 
Americus, Thomasville, Dublin, and other south Georgia munic- 
ipalities get their supply from artesian wells. In country and 
suburban communities hydraulic rams are largely used for dairy 
farms and other domestic supplies. There are also many gravity 
systems in the mountains and artesian wells in the coastal plain. 

USE OF WATER FOR, INDUSTRIAL PURPOSES. 

The supply of water for mining, quarrying, manufacturing, steam 
making, etc., is very important. 

Gold mining is a great industry in the State, and water is largely 
used for hydraulic work in placers and also in saprolite belts. In 



USES OF WATEE. 13 

the latter class of niinrng, the water excavates and transports the 
material in long flumes, automatically depositing the loose gold hi 
the sluice riffles, separating the slate, clay, and slimes from the quartz, 
and landing the concentrated ore in the mill, where it is crushed by 
stamps. The free gold is amalgamated on copper plates, and the 
auriferous iron sulphides are saved on a concentrator and reduced 
by chlorination and precipitation of the gold. All of these processes 
require large quantities of water. In the Dahlonega region water for 
hydraulic mining is brought long distances in open canals along the 
hillsides and hilltops. Some of these canals are 40 miles and more 
m length and have cost many thousands of dollars. One of the 
most famous is the Yahoola ditch from the upper waters of Yahoola 
Creek. It is 20 miles long from its head to the town of Dahlonega 
and has supplied mmes through branch ditches 10 and 15 miles in 
length. It carries from 500 to 1,000 miner's inches of water, and 
water has been sold from it for many years at 12 cents per miner's 
inch per da}'^. A miner's inch,,Colorado standard, is 11^ gallons, or 
1| cubic feet per minute, or one-fortieth of a cubic foot per second. 

In a large part of the extensive gold regions of the State the mining 
is underground work in which water is not used for excavation, but 
a large amount of battery water is used in the mills, and an additional 
supply is needed for the concentrators. 

Water is also used extensively in the washing and concentrating 
processes of iron, manganese, ocher, barytes, p3Tites, corundum, 
asbestos, bauxite, and other minerals. 

Quarrying industries require a good water supply, both for making 
steam and for operating rock drills. The marble quarries near Tate, 
Marble Hill, and Ball Ground, in Pickens County; the granite quarries 
at Stone Mountain, Lithonia, Conyers, Lexington, Elberton, and 
other points; the National Cement Quarries at Cement, Ga., near 
Kingston; the slate and limestone quarries of the Southern States 
Portland Cement Company at Rockmart ; and other quarries through- 
out the State are operated on a large scale. 

Immediately allied with the quarrying industry are the great mar- 
ble manufacturing mills at Tate, Marble Hill, Nelson, Ball Ground, 
Canton, and Marietta for sawing and finishing marble. The sawing 
and rubbing is done with sand and water, requiring a good water 
supply. Aside from the water required for power, there are many 
manufacturing industries, such as paper making and bleacheries, 
that can not be operated mthout pure water and a great deal of it. 

There are many large springs in the Paleozoic region of northwest 
Georgia and also in the Coastal Plain of south Georgia that are clear 
and sparkling and excellent for drinking purposes, but that contain 
carbonates of lime and magnesia in solution, either of which is 
objectionable in a water to be used in chemical processes such as 



14 WATER EESOURCES OF GEORGIA. 

bleaching; if present in large quantities they even render the water 
unfit for steam boilers, as they deposit incrustations of lime and 
magnesia on the inside of the boiler. The springs of the crystalline 
region of middle and northeast Georgia are generally pure, contain- 
ing no carbonates and a very insignificant amount of the other min- 
eral ingredients, but in the greater part of this area the springs are 
small, rarely having a flow of more than 10 or 15 gallons a mmute. 
The exception to this rule is a belt of country within the crystalline 
region, running nearly east and west along the pine mountain range 
in Pike, Upson, Meriwether, Talbot, and Harris Counties, in which 
there are large springs of pure freestone water, suitable both in 
quantity and quality for bleacheries, fish hatcheries, etc. One of 
the^largest of these is the Cold Spring, in Meriwether County," at 
Bullochville, about 1 mile below Warm Springs, Ga., on the Georgia 
Midland division of the Southern Railway. It has a flow of 2,025 
gallons per minute, and is utilized as a. fish hatchery by the United 
States Fish Commission. It issues from a ledge of vitrified sand- 
stone, which is continuous through the entire region, and forms the 
backbone of the pine mountain range, which is geologically the 
coast range of Georgia. Warm Spring, about 1 mile distant, has a 
flow of 1,890 gallons a minute, but is evidently of a much deeper 
origin, as its temperature is 87° Fahrenheit. There are many other 
springs of the same character as Cold Spring along the pine moun- 
tain belt, one of the most prominent of which is Big Blue Spring, in 
Harris County, which has been proposed as a water supply for the, 
city of Columbus. 

In other parts of the State probably one of the best sources of 
pure, clear water for chemical use is found in the gravel beds under- 
lying the river bottom land. These gravel beds lie immediately on 
the bed rock and can generally be relied on to furnish a good supply 
of water that has been clarified by a natural filter. 

WATER SUPPLY OF STREAMS.a 
MEASUREMENT OF FLOW. 

In order to obtain a knowledge of the water supply, or amount 
of water flowing in the streams at all seasons, certain convenient sta- 
tions have been established on important rivers and tributaries. 

A gage for observing the stage of the river is established at a bridge 
or other place where the record of flow is to be made. This gage is a 
vertical staff, or some other device by which the height of water may 
be observed, and is read each day by a person living near by. The 

a The methods by which the records of stream discharge have been made by the United States 
Geological Survey are described in detail in Water-Sup. and Irr. Papers Nos. 94 and 95, 



WATER SUPPLY OF STREAMS. 15 

average of the gage readings, if more than one, in any day is used as 
the mean gage height for that day. 

At various stages of the river one of the hydrographers of tlie 
Survey visits the station and measures with a current meter the 
amount of water flowing. This meter is primarily an instrument for 
measuring the velocity of moving water, and consists essentially of 
a wheel with vanes, which may be shaped like those of a windmill 
or of a screw, or with cups like those of an anemometer, the neces- 
sary qualification being that moving water shall readily cause the 
wheel of the meter to turn. Each meter is rated before use. The 
rating is done by moving the meter through still water at various 
observed speeds to determine the relation between the velocity with 
which the meter moves through the water and the revolutions of the 
wheel. This relation having been determined, the meter is used in 
running water, the revolutions per unit of time noted, and the velocity 
of the water computed. 

Observations of depth of water are also made, and from them the 
area in cross section of each portion of the stream is computed ; each 
partial area multiplied by the mean velocity of that area gives a 
partial discharge; the sum of the partial discharges is the total dis- 
charge of the stream. 

Measurements of flow as outlined above are made covering a con- 
siderable range of gage height. They are then plotted on coordinate 
paper, with gage heights for ordinates and discharges for abscissas, 
and a smooth curve, called the rating curve, is drawn through the 
points. From this curve a rating table is made which shows the dis- 
charge of the stream for any gage height. 

The data necessary for the construction of a rating table for a 
gaging station as just stated are (1) the results of the discharge meas- 
urements, which include the record of stage of the river at the time 
of measurement, the area of the cross section, the mean velocity of 
the current and the quantity of water flowing, and (2) a thorough 
knowledge of the conditions at and in the vicinity of the station. 

The construction of the rating table depends on the following laws 
of flow for open permanent channels: (1) The discharge will remain 
constant so long as the conditions at and near the gaging station 
remain constant; (2) neglecting the change of slope due to the rise 
and fall of the stream, the discharge will be the same whenever the 
stream is at a given stage; (3) the discharge is a function of, and 
increases gradually with, the stage. 

The plotting of results of the various discharge measurements, 
using gage heights as ordinates, and discharge, mean velocity, and 
area as abscissas, will define curves which show the discharge, mean 
velocity, and area corresponding to any gage height. For the devel- 
opment of these curves there should be, therefore, a sufficient number 



16 WATER EESOUECES OF GEORGIA. 

of discharge measurements to cover the range of the stage of the 
stream.* 

As the discharge is the product of two factors, the area and the 
mean velocity, any change in either factor alone will produce a cor- 
responding change in the discharge. Their curves are therefore' con- 
structed in order to study each independently of the other. 

The area curve can be definitely determined from accurate sound- 
ings extending to the limits of high water. It is always concave 
toward the horizontal axis or on a straight line, unless the banks of 
the stream are overhanging. 

The form of the mean-velocity curve depends on the surface slope, 
the roughness of the bed, and the cross section of the stream. Of 
these the slope is the principal factor. 

Tills curve may be a straight line, or a curve either convex or con- 
cave, or may be a combination of these three forms, owing to the rela- 
tive degree to which any of the factors are present or to the change 
which they undergo during the change of gage height. A careful 
study of the conditions at a gaging station makes it possible to pre- 
dict the form of this curve and to extend it beyond the limits of the 
actual measurements. 

The discharge curve is defined primarily by the measured dis- 
charges, and when these do not cover the entire range of gage height 
for which it is desired to make a rating table, the curve is sometimes 
extended by the use of the area and mean-velocity curves, which 
have themselves been extended, as above shown. This curve, under 
normal conditions, is concave toward the horizontal axis and is gen- 
erally parabolic in form. 

In preparing the rating table the discharge for each tenth on the 
gage is taken from the curve, and the differences between successive 
discharges are then adjusted according to the law that they shall be 
either increasing or constant. The finished ratin^ table shows the 
discharge in cubic feet per second, corresponding to each tenth of a 
foot on the gage, and is used to supply the discharge values to the 
daily gage heights furnished by the obser^ lt in making up the daily 
or monthly estimate of flow. 

DEFIN^ iONS. 

The volume of water flowing ai a stream, the "run-off," is expressed 
in various terms, each of' which is associated with a certain class of 
work. These terms may be divided into two classes: Those which 
represent a rate of flow, as second-foot, gallons per minute, and run- 
off in second-feet per square mile, and those which represent actual 
quantities of water, as run-off in depth in inches. They may be defined 
as follows: 

a A typical rating curve, wi h corresponding area and mean-velocity curves, is given in Water-Sup. 
and Irr. Paper No. KiS, 1906, p. 17. 



WATER SUPPLY OF STREAMS. 17 

"Second-foot" is an abbreviation for cubic foot per second and is 
the quantity of water flowing in a stream 1 foot wide, 1 foot deep, 
at the rate of 1 foot per second. It is generally used as a funda- 
mental unit from which the others are computed. 

/'Gallons per minute" is generally used in connection with pump- 
ing and city water supply. 

''Second-feet per square mile" is the average number of cubic feet 
of water flowing per second from each square mile of area drained, 
on the assumption that the run-off is distributed uniformly both as 
regards time and area. 

"Run-off in inches" is the depth to which the drainage area would 
be covered if all the water flowing from it in a given period were con- 
served and uniformly distributed over the surface. It is used for 
comparing run-off with rainfall, which is usually expressed in depth 
in inches. 

EXPLANATION OF TABLES. 

For each regular station are given, as far as available, the following 
data: 

1. Descrij)tion of station. 

2. List of discharge measurements. 

3. Gage-height tables. 

4. Rating tables. 

5. Tables of estimated monthly and yearly discharges and run-off, 
based upon all the facts available to date. 

The descriptions of stations give such general information about the 
locality and equipment as would enable the reader to find and use 
the station. They also give, as far. as possible, a complete history of 
all the changes that have occurred since the establishment of the sta- 
tion that would affect the use of the data collected. 

The discharge-measurement table gives the results of the discharge 
measurements made .during each year, and includes the date, the 
gage height, and the discharge in second-feet. 

The table of daily gaget^ights gives for each day the mean height 
of the surface of the river, c f^ouncl from the mean of the gage read- 
ings taken on that day. 

The rating table gives discharge' in second-feet corresponding to 
each stage of the river, as given 'by the -gage heights. 

In the table of estimated run-off the column headed "Maximum" 
gives the mean flow for the day when the mean gage height was the 
highest, and it is the flow as given in the rating table for that mean 
gage height. As the gage height is the mean for the day, there 
might have been short periods when the water was higher and the 
corresponding discharge larger than given in this column. Likewise,

WATEE RESOURCES OF GEORGIA. 



in the column of "Minimum," the quantity given is the mean flow 
for the day when the mean gage height was lowest. The column 
headed "Mean" gives the average flow for each second during the 
month. Upon this mean the computations for the remaining col- 
umns are based.

SAVAIVNAII RIVER DRAIIS^AGE BASIN. 
DESCRIPTION OF BASIN. 

Savannah River is formed by the junction of Tugaloo and Seneca 
rivers, which unite about I'OO miles above Augusta, Ga. It flows in a 
southeasterly direction, forming the boundary between Georgia and 
South Carolina, and empties into the Atlantic Ocean near Savannah, 
Ga. It is navigable up to Augusta, which is at the fall line. 

Seneca River is formed by the junction of Little and Keowee rivers, 
about 5 miles northeast of Seneca, S. C. Both of these tributaries 
rise in the Blue Ridge in North Carolina and the northwestern part 
of South Carolina. 

Tugaloo River is formed by the junction of Chattooga and Tallulah 
rivers, which join at the western corner of Oconee County, S. C. It 
flows in a southeasterly direction and is a part of the boundary 
between Georgia and South Carolina. Chattooga River rises in Jack- 
son County, N. C, and flows in a southwesterly direction along the 
boundary between Georgia and South Carolina. Tallulah River rises 
in Macon County, N. C, and in the northwestern part of Rabun 
County, Ga., and flows in a southeasterly direction. Parts of its 
course are cut through the solid rock for hundreds of feet, forming 
canyons and steep bluffs. Throughout its entire length the fall is 
very great, and at Tallulah Falls the stream drops more than 500 feet 
in a short distance. 

Broad River joins the Savannah at the southeast corner of Elbert 
County, Ga. It rises in Habersham and Banks counties and flows in 
a southeasterly direction to the southeast corner of Madison County, 
Ga., where the South Fork joins it. From there it flows east to Savan- 
nah River. Its drainage is from a rolling country, and there is a con- 
siderable amount of fall at various points. At Anthony Shoals the 
fall is more than 50 feet in a short distance. Above Augusta, Ga., 
there is much fall, which can be developed for 'water power. Except 
at the large plant at Augusta, very little of this is being used. 

STREAM FLOW. 
TALLULAH RIVER AT TALLULAH FALLS. 

This station was originally established August 29, 1900, by M. R. 
Hall, and records of gage heights were obtained until October 19, 
1900. The record was resumed January 18, 1901, and maintained 
until December 31, 1901. The station was reestablished July 10, 
1904, when bench marks were determined and regular gage readings 
begun. The station is located at the wagon bridge about one-fourth 
mile above the falls and about the same distance from the village of 
Tallulah Falls, Ga.

WATER EESOURCES OF GEORGIA. 



The channel is nearly straight for 300 feet above and 200 feet below 
the station. The current is swift. Both banks are high, wooded, 
rock}^ bluffs and are not subject to overflow. The bed of the stream 
is composed of rock and is rough and permanent. There is but one 
channel at all stages. 

Discharge measurements are made from the iron wagon bridge, 
which has a single span of 100 feet and rests on timber piers. The 
initial point for soundings is the end of the bridge on the upstream 
side at the left bank. 

The original gage is a vertical rod spiked to a small maple tree on 
the left bank of the river about 50 feet above the bridge. June 21, 
1905, a 5-foot rod gage was fastened verticalh^ to the solid rock on 
the right bank 25 feet above the bridge. The datum is the same as 
that of the original gage. The gage is read once each day by J. T. Mc- 
Kay. The bench mark consists of a copper plug set in the solid rock 
on the right bank, 27 feet upstream from the upper edge of the 
bridge; elevation, 7.05 feet above gage datum.

TUGALOO RIVER NEAR MADISON, S. C. 

This station was originally established July 19, 1898, at Cooks Ferry 
and was discontinued December 31, 1901, when the ferry was moved. 
It was reestablished July 7, 1903, by M. R. Hall, at Holcombs Ferry, 
1 mile west of Madison, S. C, and 900 feet below the Southern Rail- 
way bridge. This station is about 1^ miles above the point where the 
old station was located. 

The bed of the river is sandy and the current is moderately swift. 
The channel is about 160 feet wide and is fairly uniform in width and 
general appearance for some distance, being straight for 1,000 feet or 
more both above and below the station. The banks are both moder- 
.ately high, but will overflow for about 200 feet on the right bank and 
250 feet on the left. Both are open and cultivated except for a few 
trees along the edge of the river. These conditions make it possible 
to obtain fairly good float measurements at the time of floods.

WATEE KESOURCES OF GEORGIA. 



. Discharge measurements are made fromi the ferryboat, or a small 
boat which is held in place by a cable stretched across the river. The 
initial point for soundings is the land side of the windlass used for 
stretching the cable; it is located on the right bank. Distances are 
measured along the hand line which is used to pull the boat across the 
river. 

The gage consists of a vertical timber in three sections. The first 
section reads from 1 to 16 feet and is attached to a sycamore tree on 
the left bank, about 30 feet above the ferry landing; the second sec- 
tion reads from 16 to 22 feet and is attached to a sycamore tree on the 
left bank, about IS feet above the ferry landing; the third section 
reads from 21 to 31 feet and is fastened to a locust tree on the left 
bank at the forks of the road, about 175 feet from the ferry landing. 
The gage is read once each day by T. A. Spencer. The bench mark 
is a U. S. Geological Survey standard bronze tablet marked "666 
Atlanta" on the right-bank pier of the Southern Railway bridge; 
elevation, 35.30 feet above the datum of the gage. It is 665.47 feet 
above sea level.

SAVANNAH RIVER NEAR CALHOUN FALLS, S. C. 

Systematic measurements were begun at this point August 4, 1896. 
The station is located at the Seaboard Air Line Railroad bridge, 3 
miles west of Calhoun Falls, S. C, above the mouth of Beaver Dam 
Creek, at the head of Trotters Shoal, and about one-fourth mile below 
the mouth of Rocky River. The observer is Peter J. Pfeiffer, who 
reads the gage once daily. The station is also used by the United 
States Weather Bureau, which pays the gage reader. 

The river is divided into two channels by a large island containing 
several hundred acres. Both channels are slightly curved for about 
2,000 feet above the bridge and are straight for about 500 feet below. 
The west channel, which is the main river, is sluggish only at low 
water. It has a rough and rocky bed and in places the current is 
irregular. 

The east chamiel is a good section, but has a low velocity. The 
right bank of the west channel and the left bank of the east channel 
are liigh and wooded and are not liable to overflow. The island 
between the channels is nearly covered at extreme high water. At 
low water the east channel is 150 feet wide and from 3 to 4 feet deep. 
The main channel is about 400 feet wide and from 2 to 8 feet deep. 

Discharge measurements are made from the upstream side of the 
railroad bridge, to which the gage is attached. This bridge consists 
of one short span 175 feet in length across the east channel and 
three spans of 155 feet each across the west, or main, channel. These 
two sections are connected by 875 feet of a wooden trestle, from 35 
to 45 feet liigh, which crosses the island between the two channels. 
The base of the rail is about 54 feet above low water. The initial 
point for soundings is the left-bank end of the iron bridge on the 
upstream side. A separate initial point has been used for each 
channel, the description being the same in both cases.

WATER RESOURCES OF GEORGIA. 



^The chain gage is bolted to the downstream guard rail, 185 feet 
from the initial point for soundings. The length of the chain from 
the index to the end of weight is 57.10 feet. 

Bench mark No. 1 is the top of the iron girder under the cross- ties 
of the downstream side of the bridge at a point 40 feet west of the 
second pier from the east end of the bridge ; elevation, 54 feet above 
the gage datum. Bench mark No. 3 is a copper plug set in solid rock 
on the east bank of the east channel, 15 feet from the edge of the 
water and 110 feet upstream from the center of the railroad track; 
elevation, 14.38 feet above gage datum. The station was discontinued 
December 31, 1903. 

Gage heights and monthly estimates of flow for 1901 and 1902, 
previously published for this station, are considered unreliable and 
hence are not republished in this paper.

SAVANNAH RIVER AT WOODLAWN, S. C. 

This station was established November 9, 1905, by M. E. Hall. 
It is located at the Charleston and Western Carolina Railway bridge, 
1,000 feet from the depot at Woodlawn, S. C, 17 miles above Augusta, 
Ga., and 10 miles above the Augusta water-power dam. 

The flow is almost natural at this point, being affected very shghtly 
by stored water, mostly from Seneca River. The river is divided by 
a low island into two channels. The east channel is the main part of 
the river, as there is very little water flowing in the west channel at 
ordinary stages and probably none at the lowest stage. The channel 
is practically straight at the station. The left bank is high and will 
not overflow except under the short trestle approach. The island 
and the bank for a short distance west of the west channel will over- 
flow. The current is swift and is good in the greater part of the 
section at low water, but at places it is broken and irregular or is 
sloping with the direction of the section. The bed of the stream is 
mostly rock, the considerable roughness of which causes the irregu- 
larities in the current above mentioned. Careful measurements 
should give good results at this station. 



38 



WATER EESOURCES OF GEORGIA. 



Discharge measurements are made from the upstream side of the 
raikoad bridge, wliich is in four spans over the east channel and a 
single span over the west channel. Across the island between the 
two channels there is about 900 feet of wooden trestle. 

The gage is a boxed chain gage, attached to the upstream end of the 
second floor beam from the left end of the bridge. The length of the 
chain is 39 feet. It is read twice each day by M. A. Palmore. The 
bench mark is the top of the upstream end of the second floor beam 
from the left end of the bridge; elevation, 37.00 feet above the datum 
of the gage.

SAVANNAH RIVER AT AUGUSTA. 

Since 1875 observations of river heights have been maintained at 
this station by the city of Augusta at the city highway bridge. The 
United States Weather Bureau has published the results of observa- 
tions from 1875 to 1905 in a volume entitled ''Stages of Water at 
River Stations." 

The channel is straight for a long distance above and below the 
bridge and is about 560 feet wide at low water. The banks are high, 
but will overflow at times under a part of the length of the approaches 
and, at very liigh stages, for a long distance on either side of the river 
beyond the ends of the bridge. The bed of the stream is sandy and 
undergoes considerable change. The current is swift. 

Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of the 
North Augusta bridge at Tliirteenth street in the city of Augusta. 
This bridge consists of three spans, each 208 feet long, with 319 feet 
of wooden approach on the right bank and 259 feet on the left. The 
initial point for soundings is the end of the bridge at the right bank 
on the downstream side. 



SAVANNAH DEAIISTAGE BASIN, STREAM FLOW. 39 

The gage, located at the Fifth Street Bridge, 1 mile below the meas- 
uring station, is a vertical timber fastened to the first bridge pier which 
is in the water on the side of the pier near the upstream corner, facing 
the right bank. Readings are made four times each day by J. M. 
Youngblood, keeper of the city bridge, usually at 6 a. m., 12 m., 
6 p. m., and 9 p. m. The 6 a. m. readings are those used by the 
Weather Bureau, but are liable to be very misleading, owing to the 
great diurnal fluctuation of the water surface, and should not be used 
for important work. In the publications of the United States Geo- 
logical Survey since 1900 the average of all four of the daily readings 
is used and is reduced to feet and tenths of a foot. The zero of the 
gage is the datum of all the city levels, and any city bench mark can 
therefore be used. A point is established on the North Augusta 
bridge from which to measure down with a steel tape. This is the top 
of the plate through which the top pipe of the bridge fencing passes, 
which is riveted to the right side of the intermediate post at the down- 
stream end of the third floor beam from the right-bank end of the 
bridge, and at ordinary stages it is 55.00 feet above water, less the 
reading of the gage. 

This station is located below all the wheels of the large developed 
water power belonging to the city of Augusta. 

Water is diverted from the river above the city by a canal following 
along the right bank, described in Volume XVI of the Tenth Census, 
1880, page 789. A measurement of the canal by B. M. Hall on Sep- 
tember 29, 1897, above all the water wheels, showed a flow of 2,640 
second-feet, presumably all of which was passing through the water 
wheels under varying heads. The full head is 50 feet, but the canal 
has three levels. Some of the wheels discharge from the upper level 
or main canal directly into the river, while others discharge from one 
level to another. 

The highest water recorded was on September 11, 1888, at 38.7 feet. 
At that time the entire city was submerged, 10 persons were drowned, 
and property was damaged to the amount of $2,000,000. 

The floods of this river have been investigated under the direction 
of the Corps of Engineers, United States Army, and reports prepared 
by George W. Brown, assistant engineer. The first of these, dated 
February 11, 1889, was printed, with maps, as House Ex. Doc. No. 
213, Fifty-first Congress, first session; it was also given, with few 
maps, in the Report of the Chief of Engineers, United States Army, 
1890, page 1340. A later report, dated June 10, 1890, also prepared 
by Mr. George W. Brown, was printed as Ex. Doc. No. 255, Fifty- 
first Congress, second session. In this report is given a rating table, 
showing the probable discharge of the river at heights on the gage 
of from 5 to 40 feet. On page 17 of this latter document is shown 
the run-off in cubic feet per second per square mile for various por- 
tions of the drainage basin. A table of distances and elevations and

slope of river, as well as a description of the character of the drainage 
basin, is also given. 

From the figures in the above-named reports a computation was 
made by Cyrus C. Babb of the fluctuations of flow of Savannah Eiver, 
the results being published in the Fourteenth Aimual Report, Part 
II, of the United States Geological Survey, page 14:7, relating to 
the years 18S4 to 1891, inclusive. A discussion of the results is also 
given in Transactions American Society of Civil Engineers, Volume 
XXIII, page 332. 

By the use of a rating table ]\Ii\ Hall has computed the minimum 
flow, by months, from 1892 to 1898, inclusive. In each case he has 
taken the average of all the readings for the day of lowest water in 
the given month, and not the lowest single reading. The lowest 
average daily reading for the seven years is that on July 3, 1898, 
of 3.88.

CHAUGA RIVER NEAR MADISON, S. C. 

A station was established on Chauga River at Bryan wagon 
bridge, 2 miles east of Madison and 1 mile above the mouth of the 
river, by M. R. Hall, and measurements were made during 1900 and 
1901, in connection with the old station on Tugaloo River at Cooks 
Ferry, near Madison. When the Tugaloo River station was reestab- 
lished in 1903 the Chauga River station was also reestablished for the 
purpose of making a series of miscellaneous measurements. 

The channel is straight for about 500 feet above the station; below 
it is curved for about 50 feet and then straight. The current is 
swift. The right bank is high, clean, and liable to overflow during 
freshets. The left bank is high, rocky, wooded, and not subject to 



48

overflow. Floods can not be measured, as high water goes over the 
bridge. 

Discharge measurements are made from the upstream side of the 
single-span wooden bridge, wliich is supported by log cribs filled with 
rock and anchored to bed rock. The initial point for soundings is the 
top of the anchor bolt in the upstream corner of the right-bank 
abutment. 

Gage heights are determined directly from the bench marks. No. 
1 is the top of the downstream guard rail 7 feet from the right bank; 
elevation, 10.00 feet. No. 2 is a large nail driven horizontally into 
the center of the downstream end of the lowest cross log of the right- 
bank crib abutment; elevation, 4.50 feet. Elevations refer to the 
datum of the assumed gag-e.

SENECA RIVER NEAR CLEMSON COLLEGE, S. C. 

This station was established as a regular station by M. E,. Hall on 
December 8, 1903, at which time a standard chain gage and the bench 
marks were established. A vertical gage had been put in July 19, 
1903, and records obtained from it for a portion of the time. Both 
gages are referred to the same datum. The station is located at the 
highway bridge about 3 miles south of Clemson College, S. C, and 
about 300 feet up the river from the crossing of the Blue Ridge 
Railroad. 

At ordinary stages the channel is about 150 feet wide. The right 
bank is high and will not overflow, but the left bank will overflow for 
a considerable width at a gage height of about 23 feet. The bed of 
the river is sandy. The current is moderate. At low stages there is 
a daily fluctuation of about 1 foot in the gage heights, caused by the 
operations of water powers above. 

The standard chain gage is located on the lower chord on the down- 
stream side of the bridge; length of chain, 31.82 feet. The vertical 
gage is in 5-foot sections, fastened to the iron braces between the cyl- 
inders of the right-bank pier. Mud accumulates at the lower end of 
the vertical gage. The gage is read twice each day by M. L. Sanders. 
Bench marks were established as follows: (1) The top of the up- 
stream cylinder of the right-bank pier at a point marked ''B. M.' ' by

chisel cuts; elevation, 28.95 feet. (2) A copper plug set in rock on 
the right bank under the railroad bridge, and about 20 feet to the 
right of the center pier; elevation, 10.27 feet.

ROCKY RIVER NEAR CALHOUN FALLS, S. C. 

This station was established as a bench-mark station. It is located 
at a highway bridge just below Swearingen's mill, about 3J miles 
northwest of Calhoun Falls, S. C. Discharge measurements are made 
from the downstream side of the bridge, which is 110 feet long and 
supported by two timber piers. The initial point for soundings is the 
right end of the downstream guard rail. The channel is curved for 
about 200 feet above and straight for 300 feet below the station. The 
current is swift. Both banks are subject to overflow during high 
water. The bed of the stream is composed of sand and gravel and is 
very changeable. The washing out and filling in of the channel pre- 
vents rating. The bench mark is the top of the downstream end of 
trestle cap on the left side of pier next the right bank. Its elevation 
is 6.00 feet above gage datum.

BROAD RIVER (OF GEORGIA) NEAR CARLTON. 

This station was established May 27, 1897, by M., R. Hall. The 
gage is now maintained and the observer paid by the United States 
Weather Bureau. The station is located at the Seaboard Air lAne 
bridge 3 miles east of Carlton and 2 miles above the mouth of the 
South Fork. 

■ The channel above and below the station is straight for 500 feet. 
The right bank is high and is not liable to overflow. The left bank is 
low for about 400 feet, beyond which it is high and rocky. It overflows 
at a gage height of about 16 feet. The bed of the stream is sand and 
gravel and is somewhat changeable. 

Discharge measurements are made from the upstream side of the 
deck bridge, which has two spans of 125 feet each, with trestle 
approaches 340 feet long on the left bank and 50 feet long on the right 
bank. The initial point for soundings is the end of the iron bridge on 
the right bank, upstream side, 

A standard chain gage is fastened to the guard rail, with its bottom 
resting on the upstream end of the cross-ties. The center of the pul- 
ley is 39.5 feet from the initial point for soundings. The length of 
the chain is 54.00 feet. The gage is read once each day by S. P. 
Powers, jr. During the low water of October 1 to December 31, 1905, 
the gage was read twice each day. Bench marks were established as fol- 
lows : (1) The top of the upstream iron ghder under the cross-ties at a 
point about 40 feet from the initial pomtfor soundings; elevation, 51 
feet. (2) The top of the capstone of the right bank pier at a point 
under the upstream side of the end of the bridge; elevation, 30.78 
feet above the datum of the gage, which is 384 feet above sea level.

62 WATEK EESOURCES OF GEORGIA. 

BROAD RIVER (sOUTH FORK) NEAR CARLTON. 

This station was established as a bench-mark station. It is located 
at Bull Rat Rock, about 1 mile south of Carlton, Ga. Discharge 
measurements are made at a shoal about 100 yards above the rock by 
means of a boat. The initial point for soundings is a small sweet- 
gum tree on the left bank. The channel is curved for 200 feet above 
and 500 feet below the station. The current is sluggish. The right 
bank is cultivated and the left is wooded. Both banks are subject 
to overflow at rare intervals. The bed of the stream is composed of 
rock and is very rough. The bench mark is composed of three cop- 
per nails driven into the gum tree, which forms the initial point for 
sounding. Its elevation is 5.00 feet above datum.

MISCELLANEOUS MEASUREMENTS IN SAVANNAH RIVER DRAINAGE 

BASIN. 

Broad River (South ForTc). — A measurement was made May 4, 1904, 
at the foot of the shoals below Watson's mill near Carlton, as follows: 

Width, 50 feet; area, 81 square feet; mean velocity, L28 feet per second; discharge, 
104 second-feet. The gage at Carlton read 2.20 feet. 

The following measurement was made March 16, 1904, at the Sea- 
board Air Line railroad bridge, IJ miles west of Comer. The bench 
mark is the top of the girder at sounding point 30. Its elevation is 
49.00 feet above the datum of the gage. 

Width, 74 feet; area, 68 square feet; mean velocity, 1.56 feet per second; gage 
height, 1.18 feet; discharge, 106 second-feet. 

Chattooga River. — This river joins the Tallulah River and forms 
Tugaloo River. The following measurement was made November 
16, 1905, from a small boat at a point about 5 miles northeast of 
Tallulah Falls, at a narrow channel about 1,000 feet below Atkins 
Ferry and opposite B. H. Atkins's residence. There is a small shoal 
about 150 feet below and one 300 feet above the point of measure- 
ment. At the time of flood in 1876 the water is said to have been 
36 to 40 feet higher than the present stage and did much damage to 
property. The bench mark is the center of the head of a wire nail 
driven horizontally into a sycamore stump, which stands on the right 
bank about 200 feet above the point of measurement; elevation, 6.13

feet above the datum of the assumed gage. The gage height at the 
same time at the regular station on Tallulah River at Tallulah Falls 
was 0.82 foot. 

Width, 107 feet; area, 442 square feet; mean velocity, 0.77 foot per second; gage 
height, 2.00 feet; discharge, 339 second-feet. 

Chauga River. — This stream was measured in 1903 at Bryan's 
bridge, 2 miles east of Fort Madison, S. C. The bench mark is a 
spike in a sycamore sapling 100 feet above bridge on left bank.

lowing measurement was made May 4, 1904, below the ford on the 
public road one-half mile east of Watson's mill, near Carlton. 

Width, 36 feet; area, 36 square feet; mean velocity, 1 foot per second; discharge, 
36 second-feet. The gage at Carlton read 2.20 feet. 

EighteenTnile Creek. — This stream was measured 3 J miles southeast 
of Calhoun, S. C. The bench mark is the top of downstream end of 
cap, 35 feet from right-bank end of bridge.

Keowee River. — Keowee River is tributary to Seneca River from 
the north near Seneca, S. C. The following measurement was made 
January 16, 1904, from the Lawrence Bridge, 5 miles northwest of 
Calhoun. The bench mark is the top of the upstream end of the first 
iron cross beam from the right bank, 27.00 feet above the datum of 
the gage. 

Width, 144 feet; area, 620 square feet; mean velocity, 1.11 feet per second; gage 
height, 2.91 feet; discharge, 691 second-feet. 

Little River. — Two measurements *were made June 6, 1905, near 
Washington. The bench mark is the top of the downstream wooden 
stringer under the cross-ties at the center of the first span of the rail- 
road bridge at the right bank; elevation, 29.00 feet above the datum 
of the assumed gage.

Measurement at bridge of Washington Branch of Georgia Raih-oad: Width, 37 feet; 
area, 59 square feet; mean velocity, 0.58 foot per second; gage height, 1.40 feet; dis- 
charge, 34 second-feet. 

Measurement at wagon bridge, 400 feet above railroad bridge: Width, 47 feet; area, 
185 square feet; mean velocity, 0.19 foot per second; gage height, 1.40 feet; discharge, 
35 second-feet. 

Panther Creek.— The following measurement was made June 22, 
1905, a short distance below where the Tallulah Falls Railroad crosses 
Panther Creek, near Tallulah Falls. The stage of the creek was prob- 
ably somewhat high at the time of gaging, owing to showers the day 
before. 

Width, 9 feet; area, 5.85 square feet; mean velocity, 1.17 feet per second; discharge, 
6.82 second-feet. 

Tiger CreeJc. — This stream is tributary to Tallulah River from the 
north, entering near Tallulah Falls. The following measurement was 
made June 13 from the railroad trestle, one-fourth mile northwest of 
Wiley. 

Width, 14 feet; area, 11 square feet; mean velocity, 1.12 feet per second; discharge, 
12.3 second-feet. 

Tugaloo River. — The following measurement was made November 
18, 1905, at Prathers Bridge, about 8 miles above the Southern Rail- 
way Bridge near Madison, S. C. The initial point for soundings is the 
left end of the upstream guard rail at the end of the approach. The 
bench mark is the top of the upstream end of the second wooden cross 
beam from the left end of the bridge; elevation, 28.38 feet above the 
datum of the assumed gage. The gage height at the time by the gage 
at the regular station near Madison was 2.14 feet. 

Width, 137 feet; area, 276 square feet; mean velocity, 2.22 feet per second; gage 
height, 2.15 feet; discharge, 614 second-feet.

SURVEY OP TUGALOO AND SAVANNAH RIVERS. 

The elevations in the following list are based on an aluminum tablet 
marked " 1050 M. C./' at the Washington street entrance to the State 
capitol at Atlanta, the elevation of which is accepted as 1,049.546 
feet above mean sea level. The initial point on which these levels 
depend is a bronze tablet at the north side of east entrance at court- 
house at Clarksville, Ga., marked ''1373 Atlanta," the elevation of 
which is accepted as 1,371.991 feet above mean sea level, in accordance 
with the 1903 adjustment of the precise level net. 

The leveling on Tugaloo, and on Savannah River from Tugaloo 
River to Broad River, was done in the summer of 1903, under the 
direction of Carroll Caldwell, field assistant, by Thomas B. O'Hagan, 
levelman. 

The survey of Savannah River from Broad River to Augusta, Ga., 
was made by C. M. Pritchett, in January, 1903, for the United States

SURVEY OF CHATTOOGA RIVER. 

The elevations in the following list are based on an aluminum 
tablet, marked "1050 M. C./' at the Washington street entrance to 
the State capitol at Atlanta, the elevation of which is accepted as 
1,049.546 feet above mean sea level. The initial point upon which 
these levels depend is a bench mark of primary levels of the Tugaloo 
and Savannah River survey at the mouth of Chattooga River. The 
elevations accord with the 1903 adjustment. 

The leveling was done for the U. S. Geological Survey in 1903 by 
Thomas B. O'Hagan, levelman, under the direction of Carroll Cald- 
well, field assistant.

SURVEY OF BROAD RIVER. 

The elevations in the following list are based on a bronze tablet in 
a brick wall of R. L. Cade's store at Lisbon, Ga., marked '' Atlanta 
328," the elevation of which is accepted as 327.850 feet above mean 
sea level in accord with the 1903 adjustment of the precise level net. 

The leveling was done in 1903 for the United States Geological 
Survey by Thomas B. O'Hagan, levelman, under the direction of 
Carroll Caldwell, field assistant.

WATER POWER IN SAVANNAH RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN. 



GENERAL STATEMENT. 

It is intended that the foregoing lists of water surface elevations 
along the main river and tributaries above Augusta shall give full 
and complete data in regard to the total fall and its distribution on 
these streams : 

The record of the hydrographic stations at Augusta, Ga., Calhoun 
Falls, S. C, and Fort Madison, S. C, on Savannah and Tugaloo rivers, 
Carlton on Broad River, and Tallulah Falls on Tallulah River will 
form a basis for estimating the amount of water flowing at all points. 

In the following, attention is called to certain important shoals and 
proposed grouping of shoals into proposed powers, and mention is 
made of some of the conditions relative to developing these powers, 
as well as to powers already utilized. 



78 WATEE EESOURCES OF GEOEGIA. 

TALLULAH RIVER. 

From the mouth of Popcorn Creek, near the headwaters, down to 
mouth of Tiger Creek, a distance of 25 miles, the fall is 265 feet, and 
as can be seen from the list of elevations is almost uniformly distrib- 
uted, being slightly more than 10 feet to the mile. At a few points in 
the section the drop is from 5 to 10 feet in a short distance, and good 
small-power sites are available. In the next 4 miles below Tiger 
Creek the fall is 55 feet. This reaches the head of the rapids above 
Tallulah Falls, at which point there is an excellent location for a large 
storage dam. The fall from here down to the head of Tallulah Falls 
proper is 110 feet. Somewhere in this section the water should be 
diverted to a canal if the falls proper should ever be developed into a 
water power, as by beginning the canal at high enough elevation it 
can be put on comparatively good ground outside the gorge. A 
large wat^r power can be developed in this section entirely above the 
falls proper at a comparatively small expense. Along Tallulah River, 
beginning at Tallulah Falls, is some of the most picturesque and 
rugged scenery in the Southern vStates. In 3J miles the river drops 
from 1,414 to 754 feet above sea level, or a distance of 660 feet. Ihe 
principal falls, in the order they occur, are L'eau D'or 28 feet, Tem- 
pesta 76 feet, Hurricane 89 feet, Oceana 41 feet. Bridal Veil 17 feet, 
all occurring within a distance of less than three-fourths of a mile. 
The gorge is very difficult and dangerous to climb. On both banks 
are precipitous cliffs, rising in some places 500 feet shear. The gorge 
continues to the Tugaloo, except for one stretch about one-half mile 
long, where it opens up and forms what is known as the Old Valley 
farm. In the 2 J miles above the mouth of the river there is a fall of 
254 feet, all below the falls proper, which could be used for power 
without interfering with Tallulah Falls. 

WATER POWER ON TUGALOO RIVER. 

From the head of Tugaloo River down to the mouth of Panther 
Creek, a distance of 4| miles, there are some good shoals, the total 
fall being 85 feet. The banks are favorable for power development 
along the entire stretch. From Panther Creek to Averys Ferry, a 
distance of 35 miles, the slope is too gentle and the valley too wide to 
utilize the river without flooding considerable farming land. Chandler 
Shoals, 1 1 miles below Averys Ferrj'', begin near Bradberry Ferry and 
have a fall of 10 feet in three-fourths mile. Three-fourths of a mile 
below are Hatten Shoals, with a fall of 35 feet in 2 miles. These 
shoals are considered the finest on the river; a 45-foot dam at them 
would back the water about 4 miles, with very little damage to 
cultivated land. From this point down to the mouth of Seneca 
River, which is the head of Savannah River, the fall is 14 feet in a 
distance of 4 miles. 



SAVAN^NAH DRAINAGE BASIN, WATER POWER. 79 

WATER POWER ON SAVANNAH RIVER. 

The fall in Savannah River for the first 7 miles, down to the head 
of McDaniels Shoals, is 20 feet. At McDaniels Shoals there is a fall 
of 19 feet in 3 miles. Half a mile above the foot of the shoals, at the 
head of Harpers Island, is an excellent site for a dam about 700 feet 
long. 

In the 4 miles between this power and the next at Turners Shoals 
the fall is 12 feet. At Turners Shoals there is a fall of 17 feet in about 
4J miles. These shoals begin at Kenly Ferry and extend to Crafts 
Ferry. The river widens considerably about a mile below Kenly 
Ferry. There are several good sites for dams, one being on Crafts 
Island. The river is wide, however, requiring a dam about 1,000 
feet long. 

Half a mile below, at Middleton Shoals, there is a fall of 11 feet in 
If miles, with an excellent site for a dam at the foot of the shoals. 
In IJ miles below, the fall is 5 feet. This reaches the head of Gregg 
Shoals, where the fall is 8 feet in about a mile. Here the river runs 
between steep hills, and a dam would be about 900 feet long. 

Half a mile below Mosele3?^s Ferry are the Cherokee Shoals, having 19 
feet fall in 2-| miles. This is a very fine power site, as the river runs 
between steep hills. A dam would have to be 1,000 feet long, and 
would be placed about a quarter of a mile above the Seaboard Air Line 
railroad bridge. 

One and a quarter miles below the bridge are Trotters Shoals, with 
a fall of 75 feet in 6 miles. These are considered the finest shoals on 
the river. They commence at the foot of Watkins Island and extend 
below Tate's mill to Coffer Creek. In this distance there are numer- 
ous rocky bluffs where there are excellent dam sites. 

In the next 5 miles, extending to the mouth of Broad River, the 
fall is 11 feet. From the mouth of Broad River down to Little River, 
from the South Carolina side, the fall is slight, being 23 feet in the 
distance of 16 miles. From this point down to the upper end of Long 
Shoals the fall is 42 feet in 6 miles. 

The fall is 23 feet in the next 5 miles, extending to the foot of Scotts 
Shoals. From here to the Augusta dam the fall is 28 feet in 15 miles. 

At Augusta the power is fully developed by a dam about 10 feet 
high and a canal 7 miles long. The head is about 50 feet. This 
power belongs to the city of Augusta. It was developed in 1845-1847 
and the canal was enlarged in 1872-1875. 

WATER POWER ON CHATTOOGA RIVER. 

Tallulah River unites with Chattooga River to form the Tugaloo. 
Chattooga River contains many available undeveloped power sites. 
From its mouth to Warwoman Creek, a distance of 23 miles, the river 



80 WATEK EESOURCES OF GEOEGIA. 

flows through a wild, rugged country, being in a gorge almost the 
entire distance, which results in a very narrow and swift stream. 
There are numerous dam sites along this distance, the river being 
almost one continuous shoal, averaging a fall of 32 feet to the mile, 
and having a fine rock bottom, with rock cliffs on either side. From 
Warwoman Creek up to Russells Bridge the valley is wide and the fall 
is much less, being 78 feet in 7 miles. 

WATER POWER ON BROAD RIVER. 

In the 4f miles from the mouth of the river to foot of Anthony 
Shoals the fall is 13 feet, 8 feet of which occurs in a distance of 1 mile 
at Millford Shoals. 

Anthony Shoals is the finest power site on the river and is one of 
the best in the State, the fall being 62 feet in a distance of If luiles. 
Several plans have been proposed for developing the power. Prob- 
ably the best plan is to build a dam near the upper end of the shoal 
high enough to raise the water at least 10 feet, and to construct a 
canal to a point near the foot of the shoals. The proposed raise of 10 
feet would back the water 10 miles up the river to the foot of Fish 
dam, where there is a 3-foot dam, 250 feet long, furnishing power for 
a gristmill and a sawmill. From Fish dam to the mouth of South 
Broad River, 15 miles, there is a fall of 23 feet, with no shoal of any 
consequence. The bottoms are wide in most places and are in a high 
state of cultivation. 

One mile above the mouth of South Broad River are the Detweiler 
Shoals, with a fall of 7 feet in one-half mile. A mile and a half farther 
are the Lower Moore Shoals, with a fall of 7 feet in one-third mile, 
with good outcrops of hard rock on both sides. A dam here would 
be about 350 feet long. 

Five miles farther up the river are Payton Shoals with a fall of 
3 feet in one-third mile. In the 4 miles from Payton Shoals to the 
foot of Moores Shoals the fall is 29 feet. At Moores Shoals there is a 
fall of 28 feet in 1| miles. Above this point there are several shoals 
with good sites for dams. The fall is 35 feet for the first 5 miles up 
to the mouth of Blue Creek, and about 5 feet to the mile above this 
to the end of the survey at Harrison Bridge. 

OGBECHEE ETS^ER DRAINAGE BASIN. 

DESCRIPTION OF BASIN. 

Ogeechee River is formed by the junction of Williamsons Swamp 
Creek and Rocky Comfort Creek in Jefferson County, Ga., and drains 
a small basin in southeastern Georgia lying between the Savannah and 
Altamaha basins. Ogeechee River runs in a southeasterly^ direction 
and empties into the Atlantic Ocean. Its main tributary is Cannoochee 



OGEECHEE DEAINAGE BASIN, STREAM FLOW. 



81 



River, which rises in Emanuel County, Ga., and flows southeast, join- 
ing the Ogeechee about 20 miles from the Atlantic Ocean. The 
streams in this basin run through a country that is mostly low. The 
current is generally good, but the fall available for power is probably 
small. The bank on one side or the other of the stream is generally 
low and swampy. 

STREAM FLOW. 



OGEECHEE RIVER NEAR MILLEN. 

This station was established by F. A. Murray at Daniel's toll bridge, 
1 mile west of Millen, on June 20, 1903, but was discontinued Decem- 
ber 31, 1903, on account of poor conditions for accurate measurement 
of the flow. 

The channel is straight for about 300 feet above and about 500 
feet below the bridge. The current is swift in the main channel and 
sluggish near the banks. The right bank is low and overflows. There 
is a trestle approach for about 300 feet over low, swampy land on this 
side of the river. The left bank is lower than the right bank, the 
swamp extending back from the river about one-fourth mile. The 
bed of the stream is sandy and shifting. There is but one channel 
at ordinary stages, but several channels at high water. 

Discharge measurements were made from the upstream side of the 
wooden highway bridge to which the gage is attached. The bridge 
is at an angle of about 45° to the current. The initial point for 
soundings is the end of the hand rail at the tollhouse on the left bank, 
upstream side of the bridge. 

The gage is a vertical rod reading from to 12 feet. It is nailed 
to the upstream post of the third bent from the tollhouse. The gage 
was read once daily during 1903 by T. J. Lane, the toll keeper. 

Bench mark No. 1 is the top of the upstream end of the cap of the 
first bent from the tollhouse; elevation, 12.00 feet above the zero of 
the gage. Bench mark No. 2 consists of a notch and nails in the 
corner of the tollhouse next the river; elevation, 18.00 feet above 
the zero of the gage.

WILLIAMSONS SWAMP CREEK AT DAVISBORO. 



This station was established June 19, 1903, by F. A. Murray, at 
the Davisboro Bridge, about 200 yards south of the Central of Georgia 
Railroad station, which is in the middle of the town. It was discon- 
tinued on December 31, 1904. 

The channel is straight for about 200 feet above and below the sta- 
tion. The right bank is low and overflows at a gage reading of 4 to 4 J 
feet. The left bank will overflow at a gage height of 3 feet. The 
bed of the stream is sandy and is slightly shifting. There is but one 
channel at all stages. The current is somewhat obstructed by the 
bents which support the bridge at low water and by trees and brush on 
the banks at high water. Discharge measurements were made from 
the upstream side of the wooden highway bridge, which is supported 
by wooden bents about 18 feet apart. The initial point for soundings 
is the outer edge of the post which supports the end of the hand rail on 
the left bank upstream side of the bridge. The gage is a vertical rod 10 
feet long. It is nailed to the left side of the upstream post of the bent 
which supports the bridge at a point 302 feet from the initial point for 
soundings. It was read once each day by A. Baker, a hotel proprietor, 
who was paid by the Georgia Geological Survey. 

Bench mark No. 1 is the top of the bridge floor at the bent 302 feet 
from the initial point for soundings on the upstream side of the bridge. 
The point is marked with a cross and the letters "B. M." cut into the 
top of the bridge-floor plank; elevation, 11.00 feet above the zero of 
the gage, which is attached to the same bent. Bench mark No. 2 is the 
center of a large wire nail driven horizontally into the bridgeward side 
of an ash tree which stands in the creek near the right bank about 40 
feet below the bridge; elevation, 5.50 feet above the zero of the gage.

OANNOOCHEE RIVER NEAR GROVELAND. 

This station was established June 12, 1903, by F. A. Murray, at 
Moody's bridge, 3 miles south of Groveland, Bryan County. 

The channel is straight for about 300 feet above and 400 feet below 
the station. The current is swift in the main channel, but sluggish 
near the banks. Both banks are of clay and sand, and overflow at 
from 15 to 16 feet gage height. The bed of the stream is of silt, and is 
shifting. There is but one channel at all stages, broken by the piers 
of the bridge, up to the height at which the river overflows its banks. 

Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of the 
nine-span wooden highway bridge. The initial point for soundings is 
the outer edge of the post which supports the end of the hand rail on 
the downstream side of the bridge on the left bank. 

The original gage, reading from to 17 feet, is nailed to the right 
side of the upstream post of the fourth bent from the left bank. From 
17 to 20 feet the post is graduated to feet and half feet. A new gage, 
reading from to 10 feet, is fastened to the left-bank side of the 
upstream post of the third bent from the left bank, this being the first 
bent in the water at ordinary stages. Another section of the gage, 
reading from 5 to 10 feet, is fastened to a gum tree on the left bank 25 
feet above the bridge. This gage faces the bridge, and is used for the 



86

stages which it covers. The gage is read once each day by J. M. 
Edwards. Bench marks were estabhshed as follows: (1) The top of 
the bridge floor at the fourth bent from the left end of the bridge on 
the upstream side opposite a point 61 feet from the initial point for 
soundings, marked by a cross and the letters "B. M. " cut in the floor; 
elevation, 20.00 feet. (2) Two large wire nails driven into the tree to 
which the third section of the gage is fastened; elevation, 5.30 feet. 
Two more nails are also driven at the 8-foot mark.

ALTAMAHA RIVER DRAINAGE BASEf . 

DESCRIPTION OF BASIN. 

Altamaha River is formed by the junction of Oconee and Ocmulgee 
rivers, which unite at the southern boundary of Montgomery County, 
Ga. Ohoopee River is also a tributary, entering from the north 
side about 50 miles below the junction of the Oconee and Ocmulgee. 
The Altamaha River drainage is entirely within the State of Georgia. 
The river rises in the north-central part and flows in a southeasterly 
direction, emptying into the Atlantic Ocean near Darien. Below the 
junction of the Oconee and Ocmulgee and for a long distance above, 
on both rivers, there is no great amount of fall. Steamboat navi- 
gation is carried on from Darien to Macon on the Ocmulgee, and to 
Dublin, and at times to Milledgeville, on the Oconee. 

Ohoopee River rises in Washington County and flows in a south- 
easterly direction to the Altamaha. It flows from the low hills of 
southeastern Georgia into the flat pine lands. Though it has not so 
much fall as the more northern streams, it has considerable fall that 
can be developed into power. 

Oconee River rises on the southern slope of the Chattahoochee 
Ridge, in Hill County, and joins the middle Oconee on the southwest 
boundary of Clarke County. From there it flows in a southeasterly 
direction to the Altamaha. Apalachee River is a large tributary 
which rises in Gwinnett and Walton counties and enters the Oconee 
near the southeastern corner of Morgan County. Little River enters 
the main stream at the comer of Putnam, Hancock, and Baldwin 
counties, about 15 miles above Milledgeville, Ga. These tributaries

have much, fall, and a small part of it is developed. The Oconee 
has a fall of 250 feet in 45 miles. It has some very large water 
powers available from its source down to Milledgeville, where it 
crosses the fall line. 

Ocmulgee River, the most westerly of the main tributaries, rises 
in the north-central part of Georgia on the southern slope of the 
Chattahoochee Ridge in Fulton, Dekalb, and Gwinnett counties. It 
is formed by the junction of Yellow and South rivers just south of 
the southern corner of Newton County. Yellow River rises in Gwin- 
nett County and flows in a southerly direction into the Ocmulgee. 
South River rises in Fulton and Dekalb counties and flows in a 
southeasterly direction. Alcovy River joins the Ocmulgee about 5 
miles below the junction of the South and Yellow rivers. Towaliga 
River enters the Ocmulgee at about the southwest corner of Jasper 
County. 

All these tributaries rise in and flow through a very hilly country 
and have a great deal of fall. Ocmulgee River has a fall of over 210 
feet in 35 miles. The last_fall of much size is only a few miles above 
Macon, Ga. 

STREAM FLOW„ 
SOUTH RIVER NEAR LITHONIA. 

This station was established by F. A. Murray on August 17, 1903, 
a short distance above Albert Shoals, 6 miles south of Lithonia, and 
was discontinued on December 31, 1904. 

The channel above the station is nearly straight for about 300 feet, 
and the current is sluggish, being held back by rock ledges below the 
station. Below the station the channel curves slightly and the cur- 
rent is sluggish for about 400 feet, at which point the shoals begin. 
The right bank is low and overflows at a gage height of 9 or 10 feet 
into a second channel, which has a width at high water of about 200 
feet. The left bank is high and rocky, and does not overflow. The 
bottom is solid rock. 

Discharge measurements were made from the 3-span wooden high- 
way bridge. The initial point for soundings is the end of the bridge 
on the right bank, upstream side. 

The gage is a vertical 10-foot rod fastened to a tree on the right 
bank just below the bridge. It was read once each day by W. N. 
New, who was paid by the Georgia Geological Survey. 

Bench mark No. 1 is the top of the upstream end of the first wooden 
floor beam from the right bank; elevation, 15.00 feet above the zero 
of the gage. Bench mark No. 2 is the center of a wire nail driven 
horizontally in the upstream side of the base of a willow tree on the 
left bank about 40 feet upstream from the bridge; elevation, 4.00 
feet above the zero of the gage.

SOUTH RIVER NEAR SNAPPING SHOALS. 



This station was established in. 1905 for the purpose of making a 
series of miscellaneous discharge measurements. It is located at a 
four-span wooden bridge, known as Butlers Bridge, about 15 miles 
south from Conyers, and 4 miles above Snapping Shoals, where there 
is a large amount of fall. 

The current is smooth and is fairly swift at lowest water. It is 
broken by one pier at low water. The right bank may overflow 
beyond the bridge approach at high floods. The left bank will not 
overflow. The bed is sandy and will probably change. 

Gage heights are determined directly from the bench mark, which 
is the top of the downstream end, at the edge of the floor, of the first 
wooden floor beam from the left end of the third span from the left 
bank; elevation, 25.00 feet above the datum of the assumed gage.

OCMULGEE RIVER NEAR FLOTILLA. 

A station was established July 26, 1901, on Ocmulgee River at 
Lamars Ferry, one-half mile below Lamar's mill and 5 miles east of 
Flovilla. The object of this station was to compare the discharge 
of the river at this point with its discharge below, at Macon, through 
the low-water season. The gage and bench marks were washed away 
by a flood February 27, 1902. The station was reestablished June 
18, 1903, at Lamars Ferry, by M. R. Hall. 

The channel is straight for 1,000 feet above and 5,000 feet below 
the station. The current is swift and regular. The right bank is 
high, but overflows at extreme high water. The left bank is some- 
what lower. The bed of the stream is sandy and shifting, and there 
is but one channel. 

Discharge measurements are made from the ferryboat. The initial 
point for soundings is the windlass on the right bank. 

The vertical gage is in three sections: The first section, reading 
from to 5 feet, is fastened to a willow tree at the mouth of a small 
branch about 20 feet above the ferry landing on the right bank; the 
second section, reading from 5 to 15 feet, is nailed to an ash tree 
about 60 feet from the river up the same branch; the third section, 
reading from 15 to 25 feet, is attached to a cottonwood tree on the 
bank of the same branch, about 200 feet from the river. No attempt 
was made to place this gage on the same datum as the old one. The 
gage is read once each day by B. S. White, who is paid by the Georgia 
Geological Survey. During the low-water period from October 1 
to December 31, 1905, the gage was read twice each day. Bench 
marks were established as follows: (1) A nail driven into a large 
cottonwood tree about 200 feet from the river, on the branch on which 
the gage is located; elevation, 14.00 feet. (2) A cross in the solid 
rock, 100 feet uphill from the first bench mark and 140 feet north 
from the wagon road, at a point 250 feet west of the ferry; elevation, 
34.24 feet. Elevations refer to the datum of the gage.

100 WATER RESOURCES OF GEORGIA. 

OCMULGEE RIVER AT MACON. 

A station was established at Macon January 21, 1893, by the 
United States Weather Bureau. Discharge measurements were begun 
by the United States Geological Survey in 1895, and a wire gage was 
established on the bridge of the Macon, Dublin and Savannah Kail- 
road and was set on the same datum as the Weather Bureau gage. 
For a time gage-height records were maintained by the Geological 
Survey, as the Weather Bureau records were for a part of the year 
only and were discontinued altogether from June 30, 1897, to June 1, 
1899. Since June 1, 1899, the Weather Bureau gage-height records 
have been taken continuously and have been furnished to the Geo- 
logical Survey. 

The channel is straight and without obstructions, except for one 
bridge pier. The banks are high and not subject to overflow. The 
bed of the river is soft and changeable. The station was a fairly good 
one until the spring of 1902, when the bed of the stream below the 
station, which is of shifting sand, changed to such an extent as to 
make the current very sluggish at low stages. 

Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of 
the Fifth Street Bridge, an iron bridge of two 190-foot spans, located 
about 500 feet above the railroad bridge. The initial point for 
soundings is the end of the iron hand rail of the footway at the right 
bank on the downstream side. 

The Weather Bureau gage is a heavy timber bolted to the down- 
stream portion of the right-bank stone pier of the Central of Georgia 
Railway bridge. October 9, 1905, a standard chain gage was installed 
on the Fifth Street Bridge, on the outside of the latticed railing of the 
downstream footway at a point 85 feet .?rom the right-bank end; 
length of chain, 40.83 feet. Bench marks were established as follows: 
(1) The top of the iron rim of the sidewalk 80 feet from the initial 
point for soundings; elevation, 34.42 feet. (2) An aluminum tablet 
on the wall at the west side of the door of the United States Govern- 
ment building at the Mulberry street front. This bench mark is 
marked 334 feet and hes an elevation of 64.37 feet above the zero of 
the gage.

YELLOW RIVER NEAR STONE MOUNTAIN. 



Tliis station was established in 1905 for the purpose of making a 
series of miscellaneous measurements. It is located at the single-span 
bridge known as Sextons Bridge, about 6 miles east from Stone 
Mountain and 2 J miles above the old Annistown factory site, where 
there is a large amount of fall. 

The section is good for measurements, but the bed is sandy and 
shifting. Discharge measurements are made from the bridge. Gage 
heights are determined directly from the bench mark, which is the 
top of the downstream end of the floor beam at the middle of the 
span; elevation, 21.00 feet above the datum of the assumed gage.

YELLOW RIVER A P ALMON. 

A temporary station was maintained from September 12 to Decem- 
ber 31, 1S97, at a low bridge about 200 yards below the Georgia Rail- 
road crossing. No records were kept during 1898. On Ma}'^ 9, 1899, 
the station was reestablished at a wagon bridge about three-fourths 
of a mile north of the town of Almon and the same distance up the 
river from the Georgia Railroad crossing. The station was discon- 
tmued December 31, 1901. 

The gage is fastened to the side of the upstream post of a bridge 
bent near the left bank. The bench mark is a railroad spike driven 
into a s3'^camore tree on the left bank of the river about 100 feet above 
the bridge; elevation, 7.00 feet above gage datum.

ALCOVT RIVER NEAR COVINGTON. 



This station was established on April 30, 1901, about 3 miles east 
of Covington, at a low wooden bridge which is often under water. It 
was discontinued on December 31, 1904. 

The banks are low and liable to overflow. The ground on the right 
bank is low and swampy for several hundred yards and is flooded by a 
moderate rise. The bed of the stream is sandy and shifting, and the 
water is sluggish at low stages. Discharge measurements were made 
from the upstream side of a low, two-span, wooden bridge about 100 
feet long. The initial point for soundings is the end of the bridge 
floor on the left bank, upstream side. The gage is a vertical rod 10 
feet loiig, spiked to a birch tree on the left bank of the river 2 feet from 
the upstream side of the bridge. The observer was Stephen Belcher,

a farmer living near, who was paid by the Georgia Geological Survey. 
Bench mark No. 2 is a copper plug set in the solid rock on the north 
edge of the side ditch on the upstream side of the road, 100 feet from 
the end of the bridge, on the left bank of the river; elevation, 7.82 
feet above the zero of the gage.

ALCOVY RIVER NEAR STEWART. 

This station was established September 16, 1905, by M. R. Hall. 
It is located at a wooden wagon bridge known as "Waters Bridge," 
about 15 miles south of Covington, Ga., and 5 miles from Stewart, 
below the mouth of Bear Creek and about 4 miles from the mouth 
of the river. The station is important because it is a short distance 
below a large amount of fall at the old Newton factory site. 

The channel curves to the left bank about 45° in 300 feet above 
the station, and is straight for 1,000 feet below the station. The 
right bank is high and will not overflow. The left bank may over- 
flow about 200 feet at high floods. The channel above and below 
appears to contain much sand, which is shifting, though the bed is 
mostly rock in the part under the right span of the bridge, to which 
nearly all of the flow is confined at lowest stage of water. 

Discharge measurements are made from the bridge of three spans 
of about 50 feet each. 

A vertical staff gage is attached to a birch tree at the right edge of 
the water, 12 feet upstream from the bridge. It is read once each 
day by A. J. White. The bench mark is a cross and circles cut on a 
solid rock outcrop at the right edge of the water, just under the 
downstream side of the bridge; elevation, 2.36 feet above the datum 
of the gage.

ALTAMAHA DRAINAGE BASIN, STREAM FLOW. 



125 



TOWALIGA RIVER NEAR JULIETTE. 

The drainage basin of this stream occupies a small area in central 
Georgia, its headwater tributary adjoining those of Flint River on 
the west, and small creeks draining into the Ocmulgee on the east. 
The river is a tributary of Ocmulgee River, entering it 25 miles above 
Macon. The area drained is a rolling country and extensively culti- 
vated. A gaging station was established by B. M. Hall near its 
mouth, at the Southern Railway bridge, 2| miles north of Juliette on 
May 5, 1899, but observations of gage heights were not started until 
November 2. The station was discontinued December 31, 1901. 

At low stages measurements were made at the wagon bridge a 
half mile above the railroad bridge. W. L. Jackson, a farmer living 
a half mile from the bridge, was the observer. His address is Berner, 
Ga. The rod is nailed to the timber crib at the base of the left- 
bank pier of the iron single-span bridge. Bench mark No. 1 is at 
the top of the downstream iron girder under the cross-ties 40 feet 
from the left end of the bridge; elevation, 37.30 feet above gage 
datum. Bench mark No. 2 is at the top of the rail at the same 
point; elevation, 38.80 feet above gage datum.

MIDDLE OCONEE RIVER NEAR ATHENS. 

Middle Oconee River rises in Hall County and flows southeastward 
through Jackson and Clarke counties to its junction with the East 
Fork, 6 miles below Athens. It drains a rolling area of 300 square 
miles. 

Measurements were begun at Athens on October 11, 1901, the sta- 
tion having been established by Prof. C. M. Strahan, of the University

WATER RESOURCES OF GEORGIA. 



of Georgia. It is located on a wagon bridge, known as Mitchells 
Bridge, on the Athens and Lawrenceville road, 3^ miles from Athr 
and about 7^ miles above the junction of Middle Oconee with , 
eastern fork. It is 4 miles above the dam of the Princeton factory, t 
8-foot shoal intervening, and one-third of a mile below the dam of th. 
Athens Electric Railway Company. The station was discontinued on 
October 25, 1902. 

The channel is straight and unobstructed except by remains of 
old piers just inside the present piers, the old piers being covered at a 
gage height of 3 feet. The banks are high and the approaches short. 
The water rises rapidly in time of flood, the maximum gage height 
being 22.9 feet and the average gage height 2.5 to 3 feet. 

Discharge measurements were made from the bridge, which is of the 
covered wooden lattice type. The initial point for soundings is a 
spike at the west end of the north bridge truss. The gage is of wire, 
mounted on the north truss, near the east end of the bridge. It is 
protected by a plank cover and locked. The bench mark is the top of 
the lower chord at the gage pulley, 26.85 feet above the river bottom 
which is the zero point of the gage, the latter being set to read zero 
when the weight touches the bottom. The graduations are laid off 
on the lower chord 20 feet and can be extended to 26 feet.

OCONEE RIVER NEAR GREENSBORO. 

This station was established July 25, 1903, by M. R. Hall. It is 
located at the new wagon bridge, about 5 miles west of Greensboro, 
on the road to Madison. 

Ordinarily the river is about 120 feet wide, with sandy and shifting 
bed. The channel is nearly straight, and the current is regular. The 
right bank is high and rocky, with the exception of a low bench under 
the bridge and approach. The left bank is low and will overflow at a 
gage height of about 12 to 15 feet to the end of the approach for a

distance of about 600 feet and at extreme high water may pass 
beyond the end of the approach. 

Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of 
the bridge, the initial point for soundings being the end of the iron 
trestle on the right bank, downstream side. The bridge is of two 
spans: The first span from the right bank is 80 feet long, and is not 
over the water except at time of floods; the main span over the river 
is 144 feet long. There are also 52 feet of iron trestle and about 40 
feet of wooden trestle on the right bank, and 253 feet of iron trestle 
and about 325 feet of wooden trestle on the left bank. 

A standard chain gage is fastened to the lower chord of the down- 
stream side of the bridge 163 to 165 feet from the initial point for 
soundings; length of chain, 38.73 feet. The gage is read once each 
day by M. A. Stevens, except during three months of the low-water 
period, when it is read twice each day. Bench marks were estab- 
lished as follows: (1) The top of the downstream end of the second 
floor beam from the right-bank pier; elevation, 36.00 feet; (2) a 
copper plug set in the rock under the upstream side of the bridge 
opposite a point 84 feet from the initial point for soundings; elevation, 
13.55 feet.

a On account of a daily fluctuation caused by developed powers above, two readings a day were 
made during the last four months of 1905. The low days during this period can be attributed to 
stored water, and do not represent the natural flow.

a For minimum flow in 1905 see note to gago-height table. 
OCONEE RIVER AT CAREY. 

This station, which was estabhshed October 29, 1896, is located at 
an iron girder deck bridge on the Georgia Raih'oad at the station of 
Carey, 6 miles west of Greensboro, and just below the junction of the 
Apalachee and Oconee rivers. 

Both banks are low and liable to overflow under the trestles to the 
end of embankments. The bed of the stream is rocky and the current 
good. 

The top of the iron girder 20 feet from the left-bank end of the bridge 
on the downstream side is 41.13 feet above the datum of the gage 
heights. 

The rating was evidently affected by the dam several miles below, 
and for this reason the station was abandoned March 31, 1898.

a The low gage heights from September 7 to 16, 1897, inclusive, were caused not by a diminution of the 
flow of the stream, but by the drawing off of a dam several miles below.

a These estimates have l)een revised on the basis of the 1897 rating curve. 

b Discharge interpolated November 18 to 24, 1896. 

c The low-water height reported at Gary from September 7 to September 16, 1897, was probably caused 
])y the opening for repairs of a dam 2 or 3 miles below this point. An inspection of the conditions at 
Macon and other stations shows that this period did not include the lowest water of the year but that 
the minimum occurred during the first two weeks in October. Leaving out of account this penod of 
sudden apparent low water, the lowest gage reading at Gary was 1.10 on Octoljer 4. A measurement 
made on that day at 1.08 showed a discharge of 381 second-feet. 



OCONEE RIVER AT FRALEYS FERRY, NEAR MILLEDGEVILLE. 

This station is located at Fraleys Ferry, about 6 miles above Mil- 
ledgeville, and about 4 miles below the mouth of Little River. This 
point being above the dam at Milledgeville, the river has a nearl}^ 
natural flow, being but slightly afi^ected by the dams a great distance 
upstream. 

The channel is straight for some distance above and below the 
station. The current is moderate or slow at low stages. The bed 
is sandy and changing, but the rock shoals below will probably con- 
trol the water level at the station. 

Discharge measurements are made from the ferryboat or from a 
small boat controlled by the ferry cable along which the distances 



ALTAMAHA DEAIlSrAGE BASIN, STREAM FLOW,

are marked. Measurements can be made at low and medium stages 
only, as the current is too great for safety in boat measurements at 
the higher stages. 

During a short period in October and November, 1905, gage-height 
records were maintained by Charles F. Howe, who put in a temporary" 
gage and has furnished the records to the Geological Survey. These 
gage heights, which are the mean of four readings dail}^, and the dis- 
charge measurements which were made, form a nuich more accurate 
basis for estimating the flow for the period which they cover than the 
records for the station at Milledgeville, 6 miles below. The bench 
mark is a nail driven horizontally into an ash tree on the right bank 
about 200 feet above the ferry; elevation, 10.00 foet above the datum 
of the gage.

OCONEE RIVER AT MILLEDGEVILLE. 

This station was estabhshed August 22, 1903, by M. R. Hall, 
though several discharge measurements were made before that time, 
the first being made October 19, 1895, by C. C. Babb. The bench 
mark to which the present gage is referred was used for each of these 
early measurements. The station is located at the iron highway 
bridge in the eastern part of Milledgeville. 

At low water the river is about 300 feet wide, including two piers, 
and often a sand bar of considerable extent in the third span. This 
bar sometimes practically stops the third-span channel, leaving the 
river about 200 feet wide. The bed is sandy and shifting and the 
water is shallow and swift. These conditions are unfavorable to

OCONEE RIVER AT DUBLIN. 

A station was established by the United States Weather Bureau in 
1894 at DubHn, Ga., about 60 miles above the junction of the Oconee 
with the Ocmulgee. Records were kept, with the exception of the 
summer months of 1896, until April 30, 1897, when the station was 
discontinued. In 1898 discharge measurements were commenced by 
the United States Geological Survey, and February 11 an observer was 
employed to read the gage. - October 15, 1898, the Weather Bureau 
again adopted the station and has maintained the gage and furnished 
gage heights to the Geological Survey continuously since that time. 

The ordinary width of the river is about 235 feet. At a gage height 
of about 20 feet the left bank begins to overflow, and is practically 
covered to the end of the approach at 25 feet. This ground is thickly 
covered with a brushy growth, which will no doubt cause the velocity 
of the water overflowing it to be small. The right bank does not

overflow. The bed of the stream is of loose rock, sand, and gravel. 
The channel is straight and the current is swift and fairly uniform, 
except where it is broken by the three bridge piers. 

Discharge measurements are made from the iron highway bridge, 
which consists of a draw span between two other spans of 75 feet each. 
The total length of the bridge proper is 320 feet. On the left bank, 
which is low, there are 1,100 feet of iron-frame trestle approach. There 
is also a short trestle on the right bank, which is high. The initial 
point for soundings is the end of the bridge at the right bank, on the 
upstream side. 

The gage is a heavy timber bolted to the downstream side of the 
center pier of the Wrightsville and Tennille Railroad bridge, 500 feet 
downstream from the highway bridge. 

The bridge is a drawbridge, and the pier to which the gage is 
attached is the circular center pier of the draw span. A secondary 
sloping gage, reading from —1.6 to +1.9 feet, is attached to a solid 
rock on the right bank about 25 feet above the railroad bridge. The 
gage is read once each day by H. F. Mathis. Bench marks were estab- 
lished as follows: (1) The top of the upstream end of the floor beam 
on top of the first tubular pier of the wagon bridge from the right 
bank; elevation, 41.30 feet. (2) A point on the fifth step from the 
bottom at the south entrance of the court-house, 6 inches from the 
east end of the step; elevation, 82.51 feet.

a Daily estimates of discharge above gage he ight 12 feet for the years 1898 to 1902, inclusive, are from 
5 to 25 per cent too low, owing to insufficient d ata to properly determine the upper part of the original 
rating curve. The error gradually increases with the increase of stage above 12 feet. The estimates 
for these years were not revised because the number of aa>' s when the gage height was more than 12 feet 
was relatively small and hence che monthly estimates .are but slightlj' affected.

a Daily estimates of discharge above gage height 12 feet for the years 1898 to 1902, inclusive, are from 
5 to 25 per cent too low, owing to insufficient data to properly determine the upper part of the original 
rating curve. The error gradually increases with the increase of stage above 12 feet. The estimates 
forthese years were not revised because the number of days wnen the gage height was more than 12feet 
wa,s relatively small and hence the monthly estimates are but slightly affected. 



152 WATER EESOURCES OF GEOEGIA, 

APALACHEE RIVER NEAR BUCKHEAD. 

j^This station was established February 13, 1901, by M. R. Hall. It 
is located at the iron wagon bridge over Apalachee River, about SJ 
miles north of Buckhead. 

At ordinary stages the channel is about 80 feet wide, and is only 
slightly curved above and below the bridge. The bed of the stream 
is part rock and part sand. The current is moderately swift and is 
somewhat broken and irregular on account of the ruins of old pier 
bases about 50 feet upstream. The right bank is low for a distance of 
400 feet and will overflow at a gage height of 10 feet. The low portion 
is thickly covered with trees and a brushy growth, which will greatly 
retard the flood water passing over it. The left bank is high and will 
not overflow, except to a short distance up the steep slope. 

Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of the 
bridge, the initial point being the outside of the iron pier at the left 
bank, downstream side. The bridge is a single span 103 feet long, sup- 
ported by tubular piers. Its trestle approaches are about 500 feet 
long on the right bank and about 100 feet on the left. 

The original gage consisted of two sections. The first section, read- 
ing from to 10 feet, was fastened to a small ash tree on the left bank 
about 100 feet below the bridge, and the second, reading from 6 to 
20 feet, was nailed to the upstream post of the last wooden bent next 
to the iron bridge, on the right bank. March 22, 1905, a standard 
chain gage was attached to the upstream side of the bridge, in the 
third panel from the right bank; length of the chain, 30.70 feet. The 
gage is read once each day by G. A. J. Adams, except for three months 
during low water, when readings are made twice each day. Bench 
marks were established as follows: (1) The top of the downstream 
end of the first floor beam from the right bank; elevation, 25.50 feet 
above datum of gage. (2) A copper plug set in solid rock 10 feet 
west of the upstream tubular pier on the right bank and 3 feet up- 
stream from the line of the upper edge of the bridge; elevation, 
3.73 feet above datum of gage.

WATEE EESOUECES OF GEOEGTA. 



OHOOPEE RIVER NEAR REIDSVILLE. 

This station was established June 13, 1903, by F. A. Murray. It is 
located at the wooden highway bridge, known as Sheppards Bridge, 
4 J miles west of Reidsville. 

Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of the 
bridge. The initial point for soundings is the outer edge of the first 
crossbeam at the left end of the bridge, downstream side. The origi- 
nal gage consisted of two 5-foot sections spiked to the bridge and a 
third section fastened to a cypress tree on the left bank above the 
bridge. June 10, 1905, the gage was changed to the right side of 
the second bent from the left bank; it is fastened to -the bent in 
four 5-foot sections. The gage is read by J. D. Swain, who is paid 
by the Georgia Geological Survey. Bench marks were established as 
follows: (1) The top of the cap of the fifth bent from the left end of 
the bridge on the upstream side, opposite a point 106 feet from the 
initial point for soundings; elevation, 20.00 feet; (2) two nails driven 
horizontally into the downstream side of a cypress tree on the left 
bank, about 120 feet above the bridge; elevation, 8.00 feet. Eleva- 
tions refer to datum of gage.

RIVER SURVEYS IN ALTAMAHA RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN. 

SOUTH RIVER. 

The elevations in the followmg lists are based upon an aluminum 
tablet at the Washington street entrance of the State capitol buildmg 
at Atlanta, marked "1050 M. C," the elevation of which is accepted 
as 1,049.546 feet above mean sea level. 

The leveling on South River is adjusted to accord with elevations 
of precise-level bench marks at Constitution, Holton, and Macon, by 
the 1903 adjustment. The leveling was done in 1903 for the United 
States Geological Survey by Joseph Palmer, levelman, under the 
direction of F. A. Franck, field assistant.

WATER POWER IN ALTAMAHA RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN. 



In the foregoing lists of water-surface elevations a complete state- 
ment of the fall and its distribution is given. The various points at 
which the surface elevations are shown are located by continued dis- 
tances and reference to describable objects along the river. Records 
of the discharge at several hydrographic stations have been given, 
from which estimates of flow can be made for any point. To these 
is added a brief statement regarding the powers already developed, 
and some of the proposed grouping of the various shoals into pro- 
posed power developments. 



ALTAMAHA DRATNAGE BASTN, WATER POWER. 177 

WATER POWERS ON SOUTH RIVER. 

From the Southern Railway bridge crossing South River near Con- 
stitution down to the head of Albert Shoals, a distance of 20 miles, 
the fall is alxjut 100 feet. The stream is small, however, and only 
small amounts of power are obtainable. Flake's mill, about 13 
miles from the begirming point, is the first power now utilized. At 
this place the dam is about 6 feet high and the working head, obtained 
by the use of a short canal, is about 1 1 feet. 

At Flat Shoals, about 4 miles farther down the river, a new electric 
plant has been recently established. At Albert Shoals there is a fall 
of 16 feet in half a mile. This has been partly developed, but is not 
now used. 

At Peachstone Shoals, 36 miles from the initial point, the power 
is developed by a low dam and a short canal, utilizing about 10 feet 
head, and operating Zackry's grist and cotton mill. 

At Snapping Shoals, 7 miles below, the fall is 20 feet in 300 yards. 
This is partly utilized and operates De Loach's wood-working, 
flouring, and grist mills. 

Three miles below is Island Shoals, where the fall is 10 feet in 250 
yards and is partly developed at Haley's flour mill. 

WATER POWERS ON OCMULGEE RIVER. 

At the junction of Yellow and South rivers is the head of Barnes 
Shoals, where the fall is 9 feet in a short distance. A development 
here would have the additional water from Yellow River. Includ- 
ing the last-mentioned shoal, the fall is 14 feet from Yellow River 
down to Alcovy River. 

Below Alcovy River down to the foot of Lloyds Shoals, 1 mile 
above Pittmans Ferry, the fall is 55 feet in a little less than 5 miles. 
The continuous shoals that make up this fall of 55 feet are known 
locally as Dotsons, Barnetts, Barnes, and Capps and Lloyds. The 
most precipitous part of this slope is the lower half, which has a fall 
of 43 feet in 2^ miles, and is known as Lloyds, or Capps and Lloyds, 
Shoals. Surveys have been made for a 60-foot development of this 
power, to back water to the foot of Barnes Shoals, near mouth of 
Yellow River, and to raise the water level 5 feet at the mouth of 
Alcovy River. This development can be made with a dam near 
foot of Lloyds Shoals, or as contemplated in the surveys mentioned, 
by a lower dam farther up, and a canal. 

Smiths Shoals, extending from below Giles Ferry to Smith's mill, 
has a fall of 12 feet in 1^ miles. This is partly developed for Smith's 
mill by a low dam and a long, small canal. 

The next power below is at Lamar's mill, a large merchant mill for 
3696— IRB 197—07 12 



178 WATER RESOURCES OF GEORGIA. 

grinding corn and wheat. The fall here is about 20 feet in 1 mile. 
About 16 feet of the fall is partl}^ developed by a wing dam and a short 
canal. If the dam were extended and raised 4 feet, the head would be 
20 feet, -s\dthout backing water on the next property above.- The last 
three powers mentioned — Lloyd's, Smith's, and Lamar's — are above 
the Flovilla hydrographic station, located at Lamars Ferry. 

The next power is at Juliette, where the fall is 15 feet in one-half 
mile. Tliis is developed by a dam and a short canal, and operates the 
Glover Cotton Mils and the Juliette ]\Iilling Company's plant. From 
the tail water below the Glover mill to the mouth of Beaverdam 
Creek, below Holton, a distance of about 18 miles, there is a fall of 
about 60 feet. Macon capitalists have had surveys made for a pro- 
posed development of tliis fall, or a large portion of it. 

WATER POWERS ON YELLOW RIVER. 

Yellow River flows in a southeasterly^ direction, and joins South 
River, forming the Ocmulgee. It contains some A^aluable power sites, 
both developed and in a natural condition.- 

One-half mile above its mouth are the Indian Fishery Shoals, 
where there is a fall of 12 feet in about 200 feet. The river is here 
about 300 feet wide. A gristmill and a cotton gin in operation use 
perhaps nine-tenths of the available power. 

For 13 miles above, the river runs between high banks, alternating 
with low bottoms without any marked shoals (except at Lees, where 
there is a fall of 2^ feet) to Langdons Shoals. The total fall in this 
13 miles is 23 feet. Langdons Shoals has a 4-foot fall. 

Three miles above, at Porterdale, is the finest power site on the 
river, where extensiA^e developments have been made by the Bibb 
Manufacturing Company, which has a large cotton and twine factory 
at this point. Here there is a fall of 67 feet in one-half mile, with a 
12-foot dam at the upper end of the shoal. The banks at the foot 
are very liigh, but gradually lower, until just above the dam large 
bottoms begin and continue for 5 miles. The water is backed up as 
far as the mouth of Hurricane Creek, 5 miles above. 

The next power, McDaniels Shoals, has a 7-foot fall in a very short 
distance, and there is now a 6-foot dam operating a gristmill. At 
Mlstead, Ga., 4i miles above, there is a fall of 45 feet in one-half 
mile. This power has recently been developed and is used to operate 
a large cotton mill. 

Eleven miles above is Annistown Shoals, with a 25-foot fall below 

the 11-foot dam, which formerly supplied storage for power used to 

operate a cotton mill. The banks here are all hard, unseamed rock, 

and the site could be developed into valuable property. Two and 

. one-half miles above are some shoals with a 14-foot fall in half a mile. 



ALT AMAH A DRAINAGE BASIN, WATER POWER. 179 

Above this point the river flows through a very rough country, hav- 
ing a fall of about 36 feet in 6 miles, but passing no important shoals 
until the next power is reached at Yellow River, Ga., the end of the 
survey. Here is a dam 7.3 feet high, which operates the Simon roller 
mills. 

WATER POWERS ON ALCOVY RIVER. 

From the mouth of Alcovy River up to the foot of Whites Shoals, 
a distance of 9 miles, the fall is 25 feet. Whites Shoals and Newton 
Factory Shoals form one continuous series, with a fall of 83 feet in 1 
mile. Here the river is in a gorge 300 feet wide, with banks over 100 
feet high in several places. Near the middle of this shoal is an excel- 
lent site for a dam, from which a canal about one-half mile long 
would be required. At the upper end of the shoals is another good 
site for a dam, which would have a nmch greater storage basin, as 
just above the gorge widens a great deal and a large volume of water 
could be stored through the dry season. This development would 
require a canal for the entire length of the shoals. An old corn mill 
is in "operation at this point, using a small wooden dam to divert the 
water into its flumes. Many years ago a large cotton factory stood 
on this site, but was burned and never rebuilt. 

Six miles above these shoals are Henderson Shoals, with a fall of 2 
feet. To obtain power for a gristmill, a 6-foot dam has been erected, 
the backwater from which extends to Dabneys Bridge, 4 miles above. 

WATER POWERS ON TOW ALIO A RIVER. 

Towaliga River flows in a southeasterly direction and empties into 
Ocmulgee River. From its mouth up to the foot of High Falls, a 
distance of 21 miles, the fall is about 100 feet. The stream is narrow 
and swift, but has no marked shoals in this portion nor any favorable 
power sites. At High Shoals there is a fall of 95 feet in a distance of 
1,000 yards, in the middle of which there is a sudden drop of 42 feet, 
known as High Falls. This is an excellent power site, for, although 
the low-water flow is small, there is a good basin above for storage. 
This power has been recently developed and an electric plant installed. 

WATER POWERS ON OCONEE RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES. 

At Milledgeville a large mill for grinding wheat and corn is operated 
by water power, the development for which is a low dam across 
Oconee River and a canal along the west bank about one-half mile 
long. 

At the foot of Furmans Shoals, about 4 miles above Milledgeville, 
begins a very fine water power. The fall here is 41 feet up to the

month of Little Eiver, 7 miles above, about 30 feet of tlie fall beine: 
ill half the distance. Extensive surveys for the development of the 
power have been made, and more recently it is proj^osed to develop 
about 50 feet of head, backing; water above the mouth of Little 
River. 

From the mouth of Little Kiver to the foot of Laurens Shoals, 
a distance of 19 miles, the fall is 56 feet, and is almost uniformly 
distributed. 

At Laurens Shoals the fall is 31 feet in 3A- miles. Lnmediately 
above, at Rileys or Methodist Fishery Shoals, the fall is 30 feet in 
tliree-fourths mile, and continuing up the river, the fall is 15 feet in 
the next lA miles, to top of Long Shoals. 

The last tliree shoals have a total fall of 77 feet from the foot of 
Laurens Shoals to the head of Long Shoals, a distance of GJ miles. 

At Park's mill, 3\ miles below the mouth of Apalachee River, the 
workmg head is 10 feet, developed by a dam of that height. In the 
22 miles above Park's mill to foot of Scull Shoals the fall is only 
25 feet. At Scull Shoals the fall is about 6 feet in several miles 
length. 

At Barnetts Shoals there is a fine water power, the fall being 51 
feet in a distance of 2J miles. About 3 miles above is the junction of 
North Oconee and Middle Oconee rivers. On each of these streams 
there are several developed water powers in the vicinity of Athens.

SATILLA RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN. 
MISCELLANEOUS MEASUREMENTS. 

SatiUa River. — A measurement was made September 9, 1904, at 
the covered wagon bridge, 3 miles east of Waycross. The bench 
mark is the center of lag bolt driven into the left side of the first 
floor beam from the first pier from the left bank, 20.00 feet above the 
datum of the gage. 

^Yidtll, 108 feet; area, 1,077 square feet; mean velocity, 1.07 feet per second; gage 
height, 8.2 feet; discharge, 1,150 second-feet. 

Hurricane Creek. — This stream is an important tributary of Satilla 
River, entermg from the north. A measurement was made on it on 
September 10, 1904, at Baxley's bridge, near Blackshear. The 
bench mark is a large nail driven into the do^vnst^eam end of the 
floor beam over the second pier from the right bank, 15.00 feet above 
the datum of the gao-e. 

Width, 67 feet; area, 415 square feet; mean vekx'ity, 1.35 feet per second; gage 
height, 6.57 feet; discharge, 562 second-feet. 



APALACHICOLA DEAINAGE BASIN, DESCRIPTION. 181 

APALACIIICOLA RIVEK DRAINAGP] BASIN^. 

DESCRIPTION OF BASIN. 

The rivers flowing into the eastern portion of the Gulf of Mexico 
are for the most part similar in character to those in the Southern 
Atlantic drainap;e, though in their lower courses their flow is usually 
more sluggish. 

Apalachicola River is formed by the union of Flint and Chatta- 
hoochee rivers at the Georgia-Florida line and flows in a southerly 
direction through Florida to the Gulf of Mexico. It is navigable, and 
boats run up Flint River to Albany and up the Chattahoochee River 
to Columbus. 

Flint River rises a few miles south of Atlanta, in Fulton County, 
and flows in a southerly direction to Talbot County, southeasterly to 
Macon County, southerly to Worth County, and southwesterly to 
Apalachicola River. It drains the south-central portion of Georgia, 
extending from Atlanta south to the Florida line. Its tributaries are 
mainly large creeks with much fall. The principal ones among these 
are Whitewater, Redoak, Big Potato, Muckalee, Kinchafoonee, 
Ichawaynochaway, and Spring creeks. 

Flint River has inany good water powers on its course. Between 
Woodbury and Knoxville, Crawford County, a distance of about 45 
miles, the river falls 334 feet. Very little of its power is yet developed. 

Chattahoochee River rises in the Blue Ridge, in White County, and 
flows in a southwesterly direction until it reaches the Alabama line 
at the southwest corner of Troup County. From there it flows in a 
southerly direction, forming the western boundary of Georgia, until 
it flows into Apalachicola River at the southern boundary of the 
State. It drains almost all of the north-central, middle-west, and 
southwest portions of Georgia, and has a drainage area of 4,900 
square miles at Columbus, which is at the fall line. 

Soque River joins the Chattahoochee on the western edge of Haber- 
sham County. This river rises in Habersham County and flows in a 
southwiesterly direction. It has considerable fall, dropping as much 
as 40 feet within a few hundred feet. 

Farther down the Chattahoochee, at the west boundary of Hall 
County, Chestatee River enters. It rises in Lumpkin County and 
flows in a southerly direction through a very hilly and steep country 
and has much fall all along its course. 

From its source down to Columbus the Chattahoochee River is an 
excellent water-power stream. From the lower edge of Lumpkin 
County down to Columbus, Ga., there is a fall of over 850 feet, 366 
feet of this fall being between West Point and Columbus. All along 
its course there are many small tributaries flowing from a high, Irilly 
country. These have much fall, and many small water powers are 
available.

STREAM FLOW. 
CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVER NEAR CORNELIA. 

This station was established as a bench-mark station. It is located 
at Duncan Bridge, about 7 miles northwest of Cornelia, Ga., and 1 mile 
below the mouth of Soque River. Discharge measurements are made 
from the downstream side of the inclosed wooden highway bridge, the 
meter being lowered through holes cut in the floor or by raising a plank. 
The initial point for soundings is the end of the bridge at the left bank, 
downstream side. The channel is curved for about 500 feet above and 
straight for about 800 feet below the station. The current is moder- 
ate. The right bank is clean, and overflows for about 200 feet. The 
left bank is high, rocky, wooded, and does not overflow. The bed of 
the stream is composed of rock at the left and silt at the right bank, free 
from vegetation, and shifting. There is but one channel at all stages, 
broken by the piers of the bridge. A fish-trap dam about 800 feet 
below the bridge will probably affect the rating at this station. The 
bench mark is the top of downstream stringer at a point 59 feet from 
the left end of the bridge; elevation, 21.00 feet above datum.

CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVER NEAR GAINESVILLE. 

This station was established on June 26, 1901, 3^ miles northwest 
of Gainesville, at Thompson's bridge and was discontinued December 
31, 1903. 

The channel is slightly curved for 1,000 feet above and below the 
station. The bed is of sand and is very changeable. The bridge 
from which discharge measurements were made is a three-span wooden 
structure supported on stone piers. At low water nearly the whole of 
the river flows through the center span, which is 100 feet long. It is 
entirely housed in, but holes are cut in the floor along the upstream 
side at intervals of 12 feet, through which the meter can be lowered 
for gaging. The initial point for soundings is the end of the bridge 
on the left-bank upstream side. 

The gage as originallj^ established was a 15-foot vertical rod, on the 
right bank about 50 feet below the bridge. A standard chain gage is 
attached to a beam on the upstream side of the bridge about 160 feet 
from the initial point for soundings ; length of the chain from the end

to marker, 34.68 feet. The observer was Jack Elrod. Bench mark 
No. 1 is the top of the downstream wooden stringer supporting the 
bridge floor, about 2 feet to the left of the first stone pier on the left 
bank; elevation, 31.00 feet above gage datum. Bench mark No. 2 is 
a copper plug set in solid rock on the hill about 50 feet from the river 
and 115 feet downstream from the bridge on the right bank; eleva- 
tion, 42.73 feet above gage datum.

CIlA'J'I'AIfOOCHEK IlIVER NEAR NORCROSS. 

This stati()n was established June 10, 1002, by M. R. TIalL It is 
lofiated at Medhjck's toll bridge, about 4i miles north of Norcross. 
This point is above the mouth of Johns Creek and below the mouth 
of Suwanee Creek. 

'^rhe channel is .slightly curved for 600 feet above and 700 feet below 
the station. The current is sluggish at low stages, but not excess- 
ively so, and the discharge measurements are considered good at t?ie 
lowest stage. The right bank is high and will overflow only for 50 
feet from the water's edge; the left bank will overflow for about 800 
feet at a gage height of from 16 to 18 feet. The bed of the stream is 
sandy and probably changes. 

Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of 
the single-span bridge and its approaches. The initial point for 
soundings is 50 feet to the right of the center of the downstream 
tubular pier on the right bank. 

The original gage was a vertical staff attached to an oak tree on 
the right bank 100 feet above the bridge. A chain gage, established 
March 14, 1903, was read in connection with the vertical gage until

WATER EESOUECES OF GEORGIA. 



June 28, 1905, when a standard chain gage was attached to the 
downstream lower chord of the lirst panel from the right bank; 
length of chain, 30.36 feet. The gage is read twice each day by 
W. O. Medlock. The bench mark is the top of the iron pier on the 
right bank, downstream side; elevation, 27.00 feet.

CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVER NEAR VININGS. 

This station was established in 1905 at a new iron highway bridge 1 
mile east of Vinings and about 10 miles northwest of Atlanta. It 'is 
about 10 miles below the developed power at Bull Sluice. 

The current of the section is fairly good and regular. The bed is 
probably somewhat shifting, but there is a stretch of swift water 
immediately below, running among permanent rocks which will prob- 
ably control the water level at the station. The left bank is high and 
will not overflow; the right bank is only about 20 feet above low water 
for a width of 900 feet and will overflow during very high floods. 

Discharge measurements are made from a bridge of two 140-foot 
spans, with 50 feet of wooden approach at the left bank and 100 feet at 
the right bank. 

No gage has been established. The effect of the water power above 
being to cause a great amount of fluctuation in the flow, the mean 
daily gage height can be obtained only by the use of an automatic 
recording gage, and until this is installed the measurements are 
made mainly as investigations relative to the accuracy of the rating in 
case the original Chattahoochee River station, which was located at 
Oakdale, 4 miles below, should be continued at this place. Gage 
heights are determined directly from the bench mark, wliich is the top 
of the upstream end of the second floor beam from the left bank; eleva- 
tion, 31.00 feet above the datum of the assumed gage.

CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVER AT OAKDALE. 

This station was estabhshed at Oakdale on October 17, 1895, by 
C3nrus C. Babb. It is located at the Southern Railway bridge, 1 mile 
above the mouth of Proctor Creek, 2 miles below the mouth of Peach- 
tree Creek, one-fourth mile west of Chattahoochee, 1 mile east of Oak- 
dale, and 8 miles northwest of Atlanta. The flow is obstructed by 
rafts, which have to be cleared from the channel occasionally. The 
channel is straight and the current swift. The banks are subject to 
overflow. The bed of the stream is constant, and the results are 
fairly good except at high stages, when the water flows through the 
trestle work. 



192 WATER EESOURCES OF UEORGTA. 

Discliarge ineasuromonts wore inado from tho raihvuA' briilijo. (ho 
initial point for soinidings being the end of tlio iron bridgo cm tlu> right 
bnnk, upstream side. 

On Jnly 1, 1S9S. the kx-ation of tlie station was changed io ^lason 
and Tnrners Ferry, 1 mile below Oakdale. The gage at this point, 
known as the "Oakdale knver gage," is nailed to a tree on the right 
bank, 100 feet below the ferry, and set 1 foot lower than the gage at the 
Southern Railway bridge. On June 1, 1S99, the lower gage was dis- 
continued and the upper gage resumed and adopted by the United 
States Weather Biu-eau, the United States Geological Survey still 
recei^^ng the records and maldng the current-meter discharge meas- 
urements at tliis point. The gage now used is in two sections, the fii'st, 
reading from zero to S feet, fastened to a willow tree 100 feet above the 
bridge on the left bank; the second, reading from 8 to 26 feet, fastened 
to an ash tree 30 feet above the bridge on the left bank. It is set on 
the same datnm as the old wire gage of the United States Geological 
Siu-vey established at that point by Mr. Babb hi 1S95, and above 
referred to. Its zero point is 753.5 feet above sea level. The observer 
was J. B. Austin. 

Bench mark No. 2 is a large bridge spike in a sycamore tree about 50 
feet above the bridge on the left bank; elevation, 11.00 feet above the 
zero of the guge. Bench mark No. 3, determined by measuring down 
to the water, is the top of the iron girder, 40 feet from the initial point 
for soundings, on the upstream side of the bridge; elevation, 57.55 feet 
above the zero of the gage. 

The station was discontinued by the Weather Bureau on November 
30, 1904, but the single dail}" readings for several months before that 
time are not considered rehable as representing the flow of the river, on 
account of the operation of a large water-power plant above. Only 
the records for the first five months of that year are used. 

The station was reestablished in 1905 at a new iron liighway bridge 
just below the old Mason and Turners Ferry, where the Oakdale 
"lower gage" was maintained as a regular station during parts of the 
years 1S9S and 1899. It is 1^ miles below the Southern Railway 
bridge where the Oakdale station was located. 

Discharge measurements are made from the bridge of two 130-foot 
spans, \\ith 300 feet of wooden approach at the right bank and 730 feet 
at the left. At liigh floods both banks will overflow to the extent of 
the bridge approaches, but can not get beyond at either end. The 
cm-rent is mostly swift and is irregular at places. 

Gage heights are determined directly fi'om the bench mark, wliicli is 
the top of the do^^^lstrean^ end of the second floor beam from the right 
bank; elevation, 35.00 feet above the datum of the assumed gage.

SOQUE RIVER NEAR DEMOREST. 

This station was established July 16, 1904, by M. R. Hall. It is 
located at Cannon Bridge, on the road from Cornelia to Acorn, 2 J 
miles from Demorest and about 4 miles above the mouth of the river. 

The channel is curved for 500 feet above and slightly curved for 
500 feet below the station. The current is swift. Both banks are 
high and wooded; the right overflows during extreme high water. 
The bed of the stream is composed largely of rock and is permanent. 
There is but one channel at all stages. Discharge measurements are 
made from the single-span wooden wagon bridge, which has a 28-foot 
approach on the left bank and a 90-foot approach on the right bank. 
The initial point for soundings is the end of the bridge on the upstream 
side at the left bank. 

The gage is in two sections: The first is a vertical staff, reading 
from to 10 feet, fastened to the sill and upstream post of the trestle 
bent at the left bank. An additional section, established Septem- 
ber 12, 1905, is a vertical staff, reading from 0.7 foot to 6 feet, 
fastened to the stump of an iron wood tree on the right bank about 
20 feet above the bridge. The gage is read once each day by Charles 
Cannon. Bench marks were established as follows: (1) The top of 
the upstream end of the right-bank wooden pier, marked with white 
paint; elevation, 21.20 feet. (2) A nail in the stump of the iron- 
wood tree to which the second section of the gage is attached; eleva- 
tion, 6.00 feet. Elevations refer to the datum of the gage.

SWEETWATER CREEK NEAR AUSTELL.'^ 

This station was established May 6, 1904, by M. R. Hall. It is 
located at the south side of Lithia Springs Park, near Austell. 

The channel is straight for about 300 feet above and 200 feet below 
the gage. The current is sluggish above the gage; below it is swift for 
about 50 feet at several places, with sluggish water between. Both 
banks are high and wooded, the right being composed of rock, and are 
not liable to overflow. There is but one channel at all stages. Dis- 
charge measurements are made from a boat at low and ordinary 

a No monthly estimates have been attempted for this station on account of the erratic plotting of 
the discharge measurements.

WATER RESOURCES OP GEORGIA. 



slagcs about 400 yards below the Kai>;e. lii^li-water ineasureinents 
are made from Strickland's wagon bridge, 1^1 miles down stream. 

The gage is in two sections: The first is an inclined staff, reading to 
8 feet, fastened to solid rock on the right bank; the second is a ver- 
tical stafi^, reading from 8 to 16 feet, fastened to a maple tree on the 
right bank about 100 feet upstream. The gage is read twice each day

MULBERRY CREEK NEAR COLUMBUS. 

This station was established June 23, 1904, by W. E. Hall. It is 
located at Mitchells Bridge, about 16 miles north of Columbus and 
12 miles south of Hamilton. Mulberry Creek is a tributary of Chatta- 
hoochee River, entering it about 6 miles west of the station. 

The channel is straight for about 50 feet above and 200 feet below 
the bridge. The current is rather sluggish above and swift below 
the station. Both banks are high and not liable to overflow; the 
right is clean; the left is wooded and covered with brush. The bed 
of the stream is composed of rock and sand, with but one channel at 
all stages, broken by one wooden pier. The bottom is very uneven, 
causing the current to change direction during low water. Discharge 
measurements are made from the downstream side of the two-span 
highway bridge, resting upon stone abutments and center wooden 
pile bent. The initial point for soundings is the left end of the bridge 
on the downstream side. 

Gage heights are determined directly from the bench mark, which 
is the top of the downstream end of the wooden cap of center pile 
bent; elevation, 32.00 feet above the datum of the assumed gage.

FLINT RIVER AT MOLINA. 

In May, 1897, a station was established on Flint River at the bridge 
of the Georgia Midland division of the Southern Railway, about half- 
way from Atlanta to Columbus. The alternate filling and washing 
out of sand in an eddy about one-half mile below the station so 
affected the stream that the fluctuations shown by the gage had no 
fixed relation to the quantity of water flowing in the river. After 
this fact developed the station was abandoned and reestablished near 
Woodbury, at the Macon and Birmingham railroad bridge, about 3 
miles lower down the river. 

The following discharge measurements were made < at the Molina 
station before it was abandoned. They are accurate, and as they 
are nearly distributed over a period of one year — from May, 1897, to 
May, 1898 — they give a fair idea of the flow of the stream during that 
time. Measurement No. 5 shows the lowest discharge and is undoubt- 
edly very near the minimum of this stream for 1897.

FLINT RIVER NEAR WOODBURY. 

Measurements of the flow of Flint River were made during 1897 
and 1898 at Molina, but the river bed was so shifting that the 
station was discontinued June 2, 1898. Two measurements were 
made in 1899 at the Macon and Birmingham Railroad bridge near 
Woodbury, 5 miles below the Molina station. March 29, 1900, a 
gage was put in near this bridge and the station was reestablished. 

The channel above and below the station is slightly curved for 
800 feet. Above gage height 10 feet the banks are subject to over- 
flow for a width of 300 or 400 feet, but all water passes beneath the 
bridge and its approaches. The bridge and its piers are oblique to 



APALACHTCOLA DEAINAGE BASIN", STEEAM FLOW.

the direction of the current, and the bed is rough and irregular and 
mostly permanent. 

Discharge measurements are made from the Macon and Birming- 
ham Railroad bridge. This is a two-span iron bridge, each span being 
150 feet long and supported by brick piers. There are wooden trestle 
approaches about 150 feet long on the right bank and 225 feet long 
on the left. The initial point for soundings is the end of the iron 
bridge on the right bank, downstream side. 

The gage is in 5-foot sections; the part reading from zero to 10 feet is 
attached to a willow tree on the left bank about 300 feet above the 
bridge and 50 feet below Riggins's old ferry; the section reading from 
10 to 15 feet is fastened to a sweet-gum tree 50 feet from the left bank 
and 150 feet upstream from the bridge. This gage was maintained by 
the Georgia Geological Survey until November 1, 1900, when it was 
adopted by the United States Weather Bureau. The observer is 
G. A. Wright, who is paid by the Weather Bureau. Bench marks 
were established as follows: (1) The top of the downstream end of the 
second and third crossbeams from the left-bank end of the bridge; 
elevation, 27.00 feet; (2) a copper plug set in solid rock on the west 
side of the river about 100 feet from the water and 100 feet upstream 
from a point opposite the gage; elevation, 16.29 feet. Elevations 
refer to the datum of the gage, which is 660 feet above sea level.

APALACHICOLA DRAINAGE BASIN, STREAM FLOW. 



223 



FLINT RIVER NEAR MONTEZUMA. 

This station is located at the iron highway bridge about 1 mile 
west of Montezuma. Some discharge measurements had already 
been made at this point when the United States Weather Bureau 
established a standard chain gage on the bridge, late in 1904. Dur- 
ing 1905 the daily gage heights were furnished by the Weather 
Bureau. 

The channel is slightly curved above and below the station, which 
is near the point of reverse between the curves. The current is 
moderate. The right bank, which is mostly covered with a dense 
growth of brush, will overflow for a great distance at about 12 feet 
above low water; the left bank is not apt to overflow. The bed is 
sandy and probably shifting and the current is slow at low stage, 
especially near the left bank. 

Discharge measurements are made from the bridge of two 100-foot 
spans, with a short trestle approach on the left bank and a very long 
one across the marshy ground on the right bank. The initial point 
for soundings is the end of the left-bank approach, downstream side. 

The gage is located on the upstream side of the right span of the 
bridge near the middle pier. The bench mark is the top of the up- 
stream tubular pier at the middle of the bridge; elevation, 28.00 feet 
above the datum of the gage.

FLINT RIVER AT ALBANY. 

This station was originally established by the United States 
Weather Bureau April 10, 1893, and has been maintained from that 
date to the present. Discharge measurements by the Geological Sur- 
vey were begun at this station in 1901, and the gage-height records 
furnished by the Weather Bureau have been used, except for a portion 
of the year 1903. The present observer, D. W. Brosnan, is paid by 
the Weather Bureau. 

The channel above the station is straight for about 1,000 feet and 
is rough. Below the station the channel is straight for 700 feet. The 
river overflows both banks, but only under the approaches to the 
bridge. The bed is constant, but rough, and the current is irregular. 

Discharge measurements are made from the Atlantic Coast Line 
two-span railroad bridge, which is 325 feet long, with 475 feet of trestle 
approach on the right bank and 240 feet on the left bank. The initial 
point for soundings is the center of the tubular iron pier on the 
upstream side of the bridge on the left bank. 

The gage was washed out and replaced in 1898. It-was again injured 
in 1902, and was replaced by a new gage June 17, 1902. The new gage 
was set 0.75 foot lower than the old gage as it existed prior to June 17, 



APALACHICOLA DRAINAGE BASUsT, STREAM FLOW.

1902. The gage heights were corrected from January 1 to June 17, 
1902, inclusive, to correspond with the new gage. The Weather 
Bureau gage is attached to the Dougherty County Bridge, located 
about 700 feet below the Atlantic Coast Line bridge. It is in three 
sections. No. 1 is attached to the crib around the middle piers and 
extends to 4 feet above zero; No. 2 is spiked to a green cypress tree 
just above the bridge on the west bank of the river, and reads from 2 
to 17 feet; No. 3 is spiked to a cedar post 16 feet high. This section 
begins at 17 feet and reads to 32 feet, which is 2^ feet above any high 
water known since 1840. 

A. standard chain gage belonging to the United States Geological 
Survey was installed April 20, 1904. It is fastened to the hand rail- 
ing of the downstream footway of the Dougherty County Bridge near 
the middle of the west span. The gage was accurately set to corre- 
spond with the bench marks previously established, and its readings 
agree with the standard portion of the Weather Bureau gage. The 
bottom of the box is 45.34 feet above the zero of the gage, and the 
length of the chain is 47.34 feet. 

Bench marks were established as follows: (1) A copper plug set in 
the downstream corner of the brick abutment on the right bank under 
the Dougherty County Bridge; elevation 33.81 feet. (2) The top of 
the first crossbeam from the right bank, upstream end of the railroad 
bridge; elevation, 43.20 feet.

BIG POTATO CREEK NEAR THOMASTON. 



This station was established in 1904. It is located at the highway 
bridge about 5 miles southwest of Thomaston, 200 yards above 
Daniel's old gristmill. 

The channel is curved for about 200 feet above and straight for 300 
feet below the staticm. The current is fairly swift, except at very low 
stages. Both banks are subject to occasional overflow. The bed of

the stream is composed of rock and gravel, free from vegetation, and 
probably constant. There is but one channel at all stages, broken 
during the higher water by the piers of the bridge. Discharge measure- 
ments are made from the downstream side of the single-span iron 
bridge, which has trestle approaches of about 100 feet at each end. 
The initial point for soundings is the left end of the bridge on the 
downstream side. 

Gage heights are determined directly from the bench marks, which 
are as follows: (1) The top of the downstream end of the first floor 
beam from the left bank; elevation, 23.00 feet. (2) A chisel mark on 
the intermediate post at the downstream end of the second floor beam; 
elevation, 28.00 feet. Elevations refer to the datum of the assumed 
gage.

MUCKALEE CREEK NEAR LEESBURG. 

This station was established in 1905 in connection with the regular 
station on Kinchafoonee Creek. It is located about 3 miles east of 
Leesburg, at a wooden highway bridge consisting of two truss spans, 
with trestle approaches of about 50 feet on each side. 

The current is slow at low water. The right bank will overflow at 
moderately high water for a long distance. Gage heights are deter- 
mined directly from the bench mark, which is the top of the upstream 
end of the wooden cap of the middle bent of the bridge; elevation, 
17.00 feet above the datum of the assumed gage.

This station was established March 9, 1903, as a temporary station, 
by F. A. Murray, and was discontinued December 31, 1903. It was 
located at a wagon bridge 3 miles north of Albany, and a short 
distance below the mouth of Kinchafoonee Creek.

The channel was straight for 300 feet above the station and for 200 
feet below, and the current was regular and of moderate velocity. 
Both banks were high and did not overflow. The bed was rocky and 
probably permanent, the river flowing in one channel at all stages. 
Backwater from the Flint River affected the discharge at high stages. 
Discharge measurements were made from the single-span highway 
bridge and its approaches. During 1905 the station was deeply cov- 
ered with water by a large water-power development just below.

KINCHAFOONEE CREEK NEAR LEESBURG. 

This station was established August oO, 1905, by F. A.Murray. It 
is located at the iron highway bridge 1 niile east of Leesburg, Ga. 

The channel is nearly straight for about 400 feet above and below 
the station, and the current is mostly swift. The right bank is lower 
than the bridge and will probably overflow at times around the end 
of the bridge approach; the left bank will not overflow. The bed 
of the stream is sandy, and the current is good, except for a small 
amount of sluggish water at the left bank. 

Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of the 
single-span bridge. The initial point for soundings is the left end of 
the bridge. 

The present gage is a temporary vertical rod, intended for low- 
water observations, wliich is attached to a cypress tree at the right 
edge of the water 150 feet above the bridge. It is read by J. M. 
Jolmson. The bench mark is the top of the downstream end of the 
second floor beam from the left end of the bridge; elevation, 23.00 
feet above the datum of the srage.

KINCHAFOONEE CREEK NEAR ALBANY. 



This station was established as a temporary station March 9, 1903, 
by F. A. Murray, and was discontinued December 31, 1903. It was 
located at the wagon bridge 3 miles north of Albany, Ga., 200 feet 
below the Central of Georgia Railroad bridge and about one-half 
mile above the mouth of the creek. 

The channel is curved both above and below the station. Both 
banks are high and all water passes beneath the bridge and its 
approaches. The bed is probably somewhat shifting. 

Discharge measurements were made from the single-span highway 
bridge and its approaches, which cross the river at an angle to the 
direction of the current. 

During 1905 the station was deeply covered with water by a large 
water-power development just below.

Gage heights for discharge measurements made during the years 
1901 and 1902 were obtained by measuring down from the bench 
mark to surface of the water.

APALACHICOLA DRAHSTAGE BASIN, STREAM FLOW. 



235 



lOHAWAYNOCHAWAY CREEK AT MILFORD. 

This station was established August 29, 1905, by F. A. Murray. It 
is located at the wagon bridge at Milford, 9 miles east of Leary, the 
railway point from which it is reached. 

The channel is straight for 800 feet above and below the bridge. 
The current is moderately swift and is smooth except where it is broken 
by the bridge bents. Discharge measurements are made from the 
downstream side of the bridge, an old wooden structure supported by 
bents, six of which are in the water at ordinary stages. The initial 
point for soundings is the end of the hand rail at the left bank, down- 
stream side. 

The present gage is a temporary staff for low-water observations 
attached to the downstream post of the first bent from the left bank. 
It is read once each day by W. J. Kidd. Bench marks are as follows: 
(1) The top of the upstream cap of the first bent from the left bank; 
elevation, 15.00 feet, (2) A nail in a cypress tree at the left edge of 
the water, 30 feet below the bridge; elevation, 10.00 feet. Elevations 
refer to the datum of the gage.

height, 0.45 foot; discharge, 18 second-feet. 

Big Potato Creelc. — Before the section now adopted as a regular 
bench-mark station was found, two measurements of Big Potato 
Creek were made at the covered wagon bridge, 2^ n,iiles from Thomas- 
ton, just below the Macon and Birmingham Railroad trestle. The 
bench mark is the top of the downstream lower stringer at sounding 
point 80. The elevation above gage zero is 15.00 feet.

second; discharge, 69 second-feet. 

Buck Creek. — This stream enters Flint River from the right about 1 
mile west of Montezuma, Ga. A measurement was made August 23, 
1905, at an old tramroad trestle about 1 mile above the mouth of 
the creek. The bench mark is the top of the upstream end of the 
cap of the first bent from the left edge of the stream; elevation,

river about 8 miles upstream from Columbus and about IJ miles 
above the mouth of Standingboy Creek. The bench mark is the top 
of a large wire nail which is driven into the base of an ash tree which 
stands about 25 feet below Narramore's spring branch; elevation, 5.00 
feet above the datum of the assumed gage. 

Width, 282 feet; area, 1,150 square feet; mean velocity, 0.98 foot per second; gage

urement was made May 13, 1904, from the wooden bridge on Burton 
road, about 3 miles from Clarksville. 

Width, 25 feet; area, 26 square feet; mean velocity, 1.58 feet per second; discharge, 
41 second-feet. 

ETkins Creek. — Measurements were made during 1905 at a wooden 
wagon bridge 1 mile north of Thunder, Ga., about 200 feet below a 
small gristmill. As the flow at low water depends on the operation 
of the mill, the measured discharges do not give the natural flow of 
the stream. The bench mark is a notch and copper nails on the 
upstream main brace of the truss of the bridge, 8^ feet from the left 
end of the truss; elevation, 24.00 feet above the datum of the assumed

RIVER SURVEYS IN APALACHICOLA RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN. 
CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVER. ** 

The elevations along Chattahoochee River are based on the follow- 
ing surveys: 

The portion from Columbus to West Point was surveyed in August, 
1902, by W. E. Hall, levelman, under the direction of B. M. Hall, 
United States Geological Survey. The portion from West Point to 
Franklin was surveyed in 1899 by the Corps of Engineers, United 
States Army. The portion from Franklin to Oakdale was surveyed 
in 1903 by Joseph Palmer, levelman, under the direction of Fred A. 
Franck, United States Geological Survey. The elevations along tliis 
part of the stream are based on an aluminum tablet at the Washing- 
ton street entrance to the State capitol building at Atlanta, marked 
" 1050 M. C." The portion from Oakdale to the mouth of Chestatee 
River was surveyed in 1902 by Felder Furlow, levelman, under the 
direction of B. M. Hall, United States Geological Survey. The eleva- 
tions between the mouth of Chestatee River and Nacoochee were 
determined in 1903 by'Joseph Palmer, levelman, under the direction 
of F. A. Franck, field assistant. United States Geological Survey. 
These elevations are based on an aluminum tablet at Nacoochee, 
marked '' 1439 Atlanta", in the ledge of rock 200 feet west of ford of 
Chattahoochee River, the elevation of wliich is now accepted as 
1,348.259 feet above main sea level. The adjustment of this line was 
accomplished in conjunction with leveling on the Chestatee and Soque 
rivers, tied at Willow and Clarksville, and by an extra check at Pole, 
to primary level circuits, and accords with the 1908 adjustment of the 
precise level net. 

In order to give a continuous profile of the river, the levels of these 
several surveys have been, adjusted to accord with the elevations 
determined for the portion between Franklin and Oakdale. It is not 
expected, however, that the bench marks of one survey will exactly 
accord with those of another. 

o For survey of Chattahoochee River from junction -with Flint River to Columbus, Ga., see Report of 
Chief of Engineers, U.S.A., 1872, pp. 584, 623; and Report of Chief of Engineers, U.S.A., 1873, pp. 699-700.

SURVEY OF FLINT RIVER. 



In May, 1900, a survey was made of Flint River from the Geologi- 
cal Survey gaging station, about 3 miles east of Woodbury, Ga., on 
the Macon and Birmingham Railroad bridge over the river, to the 
line of the Creek Agency Reserve near Roberta and Knoxville, a 
distance of 45.4 miles downstream. The work was done b}^ Mr. D. L. 
Wardroper, under the supervision of B. M. Hall, resident hydrog- 
rapher. In this 45 miles the river cuts through Pine Mountain, the 
western coast range of the State, and descends with a total fall of 
334 feet. The elevations are all above sea level, being taken from 
the track of the Atlanta and Columbus line of the Southern Rail- 
way, in front of the station at Woodbury, which is 780 feet above 
sea level. From this the zero of the Woodbury River gage was found 
to be 659.63 feet above sea level.

WATER POWER IN APALACHICOLA RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN. 
CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVER. 



In the foregoing lists of water-surface elevations several surveys 
have been put together, so as to give a continuous chain of elevations, 
and, for the main river, the distance of each point noted is given in 
miles above Columbus. Objects along the river are also noted and 
serve to locate and make it possible to identify each point at which 
the surface elevation is given. 



254 WATER RESOURCES OF GEORGIA. 

The fall at any point or between any points can therefore be de- 
termined, and the amount of water flowing at it can be estimated 
from the records of the hydrographic stations at West Point, Oak- 
dale, Norcross, Buford, and Gainesville, and from miscellaneous 
measurements. 

At Columbus is the fall line, and immediately above are located the 
largest falls on the river. Here a large amount of water power has 
been in use for many years. 

The developed water powers are: (1) Eagle and Phoenix dam, 
operating the Eagle and Phoenix, and Muscogee mills; fall 26 feet. 
(2) City Mills dam; fall 9 feet. (3) Columbus Power Company's 
dam and tailrace; fall 40 feet. The last mentioned was completed 
in 1902. The stone dam is located above the foot of the shoals, a 
considerable portion of the head being obtained by excavating for the 
tail-water. Water is backed three-fourths mile above the dam, and 
reaches the foot of a very fine shoal, the Chattahoochee Falls Com- 
pany's property, where there is a fall of 40 feet in little more than 1 
mile. The old Clapp factory was located on this property and the 
power was supplied by a wing dam, about half of the fall being used. 
The present owners of the property have secured water rights along 
the river above, which will enable them to develop a much higher 
head and will also give a larger storage. The fall from the upper line 
of the original property to foot of shoals on Ogletree's land is 21 feet 
in 7 miles. From this point up to the lower end of Hargetts Island, 

10 miles above, the fall is 150 feet. 

Along this portion of the river the banks are high and rockjr. The 
river is mostly wide and full of islands, but at several places the 
banks come close together, affording excellent sites for high dams, 
in some cases not more than 600 feet long. 

In the 7 miles from Hargetts Island to the foot of Riverview dam 
the fall is 42 feet. At the Riverview mills and Langdale mills there 
are developed powers, each using 10 or 12 feet of fall. 

Above the Langdale mills up to West Point the amount of fall is 
small. Between West Point and Franklin the fall is 75 feet in 38 
miles, averaging about 2 feet a mile. The fall is not uniformly dis- 
tributed, however, and it is probable that some really good power 
developments could be made. 

At Franklin, where there is an excellent site for a dam, extensive 
surveys have beeninade for one 32 feet high, which would back 
water 8^ miles, to the head of Fishtrap Shoals. Tliis proposed de- 
velopment includes Bushyhead Shoals and several others not so large. 

From here to the foot of Mcintosh Shoals the fall i? only 1 1 feet in 

11 miles. At Mcintosh Shoals there is a fall of 8 feet in one-half mile. 
Above this shoal up to the mouth of Peachtree Creek, above 

Atlanta, the fall is 66 feet in 47 miles. Three miles above is the dam 



APALACHTCOLA DRAINAGE BASIN, WATER POWER. 255 

site of a proposed development of 32 feet, for which complete surveys 
have been made. 

At Bull Sluice, 4 miles below Roswell, is the new electric power 
plant of the Atlanta Water Power and Electric Company. The dam 
is a massive concrete structure, 48 feet high, which with the 2-foot 
flashboards, gives a head of 50 feet. This plant is fully equipped 
with the most modern type of water wheels and electric generators. 
The combined capacity of the water wheels is greatly in excess of the 
normal low-water flow of the river, thus providing for a large increase 
of power from stored water, and at times when the flow of the river 
is increased. The power is all transmitted electrically to Atlanta. 
Backwater from this dam, when flashboards are used, reaches a point 
just under the wagon bridge at Roswell. 

In the 26 miles above Roswell, reaching to Bowmans Island, near 
Buford, there is a fall of about 57 feet, the drop being as much as 5 or 6 
feet to the mile in a few places. At Bowmans Island is a proposed 
site for a 50-foot dam to back water 14 miles up to mouth of Chestatee 
River. 

From the mouth of Chestatee River, up to the mouth of Little 
River, there are a number of small shoals aggregating 28 feet of fall. 
Beginning a short distance above Little River is a series of shoals, 
which has recently been developed by the North Georgia Electric 
Company. The dam of this plant is located a quarter of a mile 
above the foot of the shoals, leaving about 7 feet of the fall undevel- 
oped. It is a log crib structure entirely filled with rock and is 36 feet 
high. The power is transmitted electrically from the plant. Back- 
water extends 8 miles, to above Clarks Bridge. In the next 11 miles, 
up to Belton, the fall is about 30 feet and includes several shoals 
and some good sites for dams. 

In the next 9 miles, extending to mouth of Soque River, the fall is 
81 feet, including Harrisons Shoals, Perkins Shoals, and a series of 
shoals above and below Duncans Bridge, the latter series having a fall 
of 20 feet in Ij miles. 

Above the mouth of the Soque River is a series of shoals, with a 
total fall of 106 feet in 4^ miles. Along this part of the river the 
banks are steep and rocky, and there are numerous good dam sites. 

WATER POWERS ON SOQUE RIVER. 

In 5^ miles above the mouth of the river the fall is 30 feet, including 
several small shoals. One mile downstream from Porter Mills there 
is an undeveloped fall of 6 feet in about 50 yards, with 7 feet of fall 
above, to the foot of Porter Shoals. At Porter Mills is the Porter 
Shoals, an almost vertical drop of 48 feet and by far the best waterfall 
on the river. This is partly developed by a small wing dam, the

jniles above Porter Mills is a good water-power site, known as the Old 
Kactoiy vShoids, where there is a fall of 2'A feet in a distance of (iOO feet. 
This was utilized al. one tijue, but nil signs of the dam have vanished.

From th(>. iuouth of the I'iver up to the fool, of iJie Nor'th Oeorgia 
Electric (yompany's dam, at Newbridge, a distanc(^ of 171 miles, the 
fall is 83 feet. This inchides three small darns and a num})er of 
undeveloped shoals, but no especially favorable sites for large powers. 

The North Georgia EkH'.tric Company's dam is 27 feet high, and is 
made of log cribs fdl(Ml with I'ock, and backs water about 8j miles. 
Above this dam there is a lai'ge amount of fall and many good ])ower 
sites, some of which are developed and used to operate machinery 
connected with gold mining. Most of the undeveloped powers are 
owned or controlled by various mining companies. 



WA'I'IOU, roWIOItS ON KMN'r KIVKR. 



'J'he country rock in the Flint iiiver basin over the range of the 
preceding elevations is vitrified sajidstone or ((uart/ite, forming line 
blulFs and occasional narrow gorges suitable for dam sites. It is 
easily quarried, and comes out in squai-e blocks that are excellent for 
building dams. 

The first shoals, known as the Drij)]>ing Rock Shoals, begin n(>ar the 
mouth of Cane Creek, about 3,000 fe(>t below tiie bi'idge, and fall 23.7 
feet in about 2 miles. In the next 2 miles, (u- to a, point about 1 mile 
below the mouth of Pigeon Creek, tlu> river falls oidy 6 leot. Then 
shoals begin which have a practically uniform fall of 10.5 feet ])er mile 
for a distance of 8^ miles, or to Double Bridges (Gibson's old ferry), 
the total fall in that distance being 90 feet. From that ])oint to the 
north boundary of the twenty-third land district, the fall is 20 feet in 
a distance of 4,700 feet. Jn the next 3 miles, or to i\w head of the 
Yellow Jacket Shoals, tiuM-e is a total fall of 22 feet. 

The Yellow ,la-ck(>t Shoals are the linest on (he riv(M'. They are 
below Pigeon Creek and above La,Z(M' (^i"eek (somelinu^s called Fliza 
Cr(M'k), n(>ai' Kowlaiid, in Upson County, about midway belvv(M>n Tn\- 
bott.on aiid Thomaston, in the heart of th(> cotton belt of (Jeorgia.

of which can be utilized. In fact a much larger head would be avail- 
able by building a 42-foot dam at the head of the Yellow Jacket Shoals 
and taking the water in a canal to a point opposite the foot of the 
shoals. This would cover a fall of 107 feet, 7 feet of which would be 
sufficient for storage and canal grades, leaving a net working head of 
100 feet. A dam of this height would back the water about 4 miles. 
There would be no trouble from flood water on the wheels, for the 
river is very precipitous below the foot of the Yellow Jacket Shoals, 
having an average fall of 6 feet to the mile in the next 10 miles, the 
most precipitous part being a fall of about 25 feet between Ilatchasof- 
kee Creek and Elliotts Ferry, a distance of about 2 miles. Elliotts 
Ferry is between the mouths of Mountain Creek and Deep Gulch 
Creek. 

Below Elliotts Ferry the river falls 13 feet in the next 2 miles, or to 
Walkers Ferry, and then assumes a practically uniform grade of 1.7 
feet to the mile for the next 1 1 miles, or to a point one-half mile below 
the mouth of Auchumkee Creek, in Crawford County, which is at the 
head of small shoals having a fall of 10 feet in a distance of 1 mile. 
This is practically the point where the river crosses the fall line and 
enters the younger geologic formations. The survey ended here. 

Along the portion of the river surveyed there are several large trib- 
utaries which have fme shoals. The most notable of these is Big 
Potato Creek, near Thomaston, in Upson County, which has three 
shoals near its mouth, surveyed in 1891 by C. C. Anderson, assistant 
State geologist, and reported by him to be as follows: Rogers Shoals, 
81 feet fall in a distance of 3,500 feet; Nelson Shoals, 115 feet fall in 
a distance of 2,700 feet, and Daniels Shoals, 13 feet fall in a distance 
of 150 feet. 

About 10 miles above Woodbury there is a fme water power on Flint 
River, 1 mile from Neal, on the Southern Railway. It is known as 
the Flat Shoals and has a fall of 32 feet in a distance of 3,000 feet. 
There is a natural storage basin just above these shoals, where it is 
estimated that a 2-foot dam would store the low-water flow of the 
river for twelve hours, and that a 4-foot dam would store it for thirty- 
eight hours. This power is not included in the survey described, but 
was surveyed separately by B. M. Hall. It can be developed by a 
canal 3,000 feet long, or by a dam at the foot of the shoals, where there 
is a narrow shut-in.

MOBII.B RIVEIl DRAINAGE BASIN. 

DESCRIPTION OF BASIN. 

The drainage basin of the Mobile River is the largest in Georgia and 
Alabama, and is designated the Mobile basin because its waters all 
enter the Gulf through Mobile River at Mobile, Ala. At its head- 
waters, Cartecay and Ellijay rivers unite at Ellijay to form Coosawat- 
tee River, which, just above Resaca, unites with the Conasauga to 
form Oostanaula River. At Rome, Ga., the Oostanaula and the 
Etowah unite to form Coosa River. Six miles above Montgomery, 
Ala., the Coosa and the Tallapoosa unite to form Alabama River, and 
not far from the coast the Tombigbec unites with the Alabama to form 
Mobile River, which flows into Mobile Bay, an arm of the Gulf of 
Mexico. 

Cahaba River is the principal tributary of the Alabama and joins it 
about 10 miles below Selma. Ilillabee Creek flows into Tallapoosa 
River just above Sturdevant and near Alexander. Talladega Creek 
is a tributary of the Coosa. 

Tombigbec River rises in the northeastern part of Mississippi and 
enters Alabama in Pickens County. Its principal tributary is the 
Black Warrior, which is formed by the junction of Mulberry Fork and 
Sipsey Fork. Locust Fork enters the Black Warrior some distance 
below the junction. 

This paper discusses only the gaging stations in the Mobile drainage 
basin which are located in the State of Georgia. For stations located 
in Alabama and Mississippi the reader is referred to Water-Supply 
Paper No. 107, Water Powers of Alabama and Mississippi, and to the 
Reports of Progress of Stream Measurements, published by the 
United States Geological Survey. 

STREAM FLOW. 
ETOWAH RIVER NEAR BALLGROUND. 

This station was established in 1905. It is located at an iron high- 
way bridge about 2\ miles south of Ballground, and half a mile below 
the mouth of Long Swamp Creek. 

The channel is nearly straight for 300 feet above and 600 feet below 
the station, and the current is moderately swift and fairly good for 
measurement. The left bank is high and will not overflow, but the 
right bank is low and cultivated for about 500 feet and will overflow 
at a gag(> h(>ight of about 16 feet above low water. The bed of the 
river is ])artly rock. 

Discharge measurements are made from the bridge of two iron spans. 
The left span is 110 feet long, and spans the entire river except at 



MOBILE DRAIISrAGE BASIN, STREAM FLOW. 259 

floods. The other span, which is over low ground on the right bank, 
is 100 feet long, and there is also 90 feet of wooded trestle on the right 
bank. Gage heights are determined directly from the bench mark, 
which is the top of the upstream end of the first floor beam to the left 
of the middle pier; elevation, 28.00 feet above the datum of the 
assumed gage.

ETOWAH RIVER AT CANTON. 

This station was established in 1892 by the United States Weather 
Bureau, and it was only in 1896 that measurements were begun by the 
United States Geological Survey. It is located at the wagon bridge in 
Canton, one-half mile above the mouth of Canton Creek and 1,000 feet 
upstream from the Atlanta, Knoxville and Northern Railway station. 

The channel is straight for 1,000 feet above and 500 feet below the 
bridge. The current is affected by a fish-trap dam about 1 foot high, 
which has caused much trouble by being occasionally washed away 
and built up again. Up to gage height 3 feet the river is only 116 feet 
wide and flows between the piers on its lower banks. Up to about 14 
feet it is confined between its upper banks, which are the abutments at 
the outer ends of the approaches, but above 14 feet it begins to over- 
flow the bottom lands. The bed is fairly constant. 

Discharge measurements are made from the upstream side of the 
iron highway bridge. The initial point for soundings is the river side 
of the right-bank pier at the end of the main span. The gage is a 
heavy vertical timber, fastened to the edge of the left-bank pier, on 
the upstream side. The gage is read once each day by J. M. McAfee, 
who is paid by the United States Weather Bureau for six months of 
the year and by the Georgia Geological Survey for the other six 
months. Bench marks were established as follows: (1) A cut on a 
silver-maple tree on the east side of the road, 20 feet from the end of 
the bridge, on the south or left bank of the river; elevation, 20.36 feet. 
(2) The top of the iron bar on- the top of the left-bank pier at the end of 
the center span of the bridge, upstream side; elevation, 23.39 feet. 
Elevations refer to the datum of the gage.

ETOWAH RIVER AT ROME. 



Measurements were made at this station for several years in connec- 
tion with the measurement of Coosa River at Rome. Measurements 
were referred to a bench mark on the bridge, and the gage put in 
July 1, 1903, by J. M. Giles was referred to the same bench mark. 
This gage is located at the Second Avenue Bridge in the city of Rome, 
Ga., about 1 mile above the mouth of the river. 



MOBILE DEAINAGE BASIN, STREAM FLOW. 



269 



The channel is curved for 1^000 feet above and below the station. 
Both banks are high and overflow only under the approaches to the 
bridge. The bed of the stream is of rock and is permanent, but the 
channel is obstructed by the crib of an old pier foundation in the mid- 
dle of the river. Discharge measurements have been made from the 
sidewalk on the upstream side of the single-span iron bridge and its 
approaches. The initial point for soundings is the center of the post 
at the end of the iron hand rail on the right bank, upstream side. 
The gage is a vertical timber driven into the bed of the river and 
spiked to a birch tree on the left bank about 50 feet below the bridge. 
The bench mark is the top of the downstream end of the third cross- 
beam from the left bank end of the bridge; Elevation, 43.00 feet above 
the zero of the gage. The station was discontinued December 31, 
1903.

ETOWAH RIVER NEAR ROME. 

This station was established August 17, 1904, by M. R. Hall. It is 
located at Freemans Ferry, about 5 miles above Rome. 

The chamiel is straight for about 3,000 feet above and 1,000 feet 
below the station. The current is swift. There is a small shoal of 
rock about 50 feet below the gaging section. About 1,000 feet below 
there is an old fish-trap dam, but this has not been used for years, and 
is probably constant. Both banks are high, but are subject to over- 
flow during high water. The bed of the stream is composed of small 
rock and pebbles, and is uniform and permanent. There is but one 
channel at all stages, the water being about 2.5 feet deep at low water. 
Discharge measurements are made from a small boat, the meter being 
suspended from the ferry cable. Measurements can be made from 
the bridge at Rome, as no large quantity of water enters the river 
between the ferry and that place. The initial point for soundings is 
the center of the windlass for the ferry cable on the left bank of the 
river. 

The original gage, reading from to 7 feet, is attached to a sycamore 
tree at left edge of river, about 250 feet below the ferry. A second 
section, reading from 7 to 20 feet, is attached to a post 10 feet upstream 
from the first section and 10 feet from the edge of the river at low 
water. A third section, reading from 20 to 30 feet, is attached to a 
maple tree opposite the post and 15 feet farther from the waters edge. 
The gage is read once each day by W. A. Gresham, who is paid by the 
Georgia Geological Survey. Bench marks were established as fol- 
lows: (1) Head of lag screw driven into root of maple, to which gage 
20 to 30 feet is attached; elevation, 19.26 feet. (2) Center mark on 
copper plug set horizontally in brick wall of F. B. Freeman's resi- 
dence, on east end of house, near northeast corner, just below floor 
level; elevation, 27.99 feet. Elevations refer to the datum of the 
gage.

AMICALOLA RIVER NEAR BALLGROUND. 

This station was established in 1905. It is located at Hollensheds 
Bridge, one-fourth of a mile above Heard's mill, and about 15 miles 
northeast of Ballground. 

Discharge measurements are made from the two-span covered 
bridge, about 150 feet in total length. The meter can be let down 
through the floor at the side of the bridge, but the current here is 
rough and not good for measurements. Some of the measurements 
were made about 40 feet below the bridge. The stream is important, 
and a good section is difficult to find, but it is probable that a better 
place than this will be found. 

Gage heights are determined directi}?^ from the bench mark, which is 
a point on top of the downstream end of the wooden floor beam, 25 
feet from the left-bank pier; elevation, 17.00 feet above the datum of 
the assumed gage.

LONG SWAMP CREEK NEAR BALLGROUND. 

This station was established in 1905. It is located at a wooden 
wagon bridge about 2 miles southeast from Ballground, and half a 
mile above the mouth of the creek, which empties into Etowah 
River. 

The current is swift at the station, also above and below it. The 
bed is sandy, and the water is shallow. Measurements are riiade from 
the downstream side of the wooden bridge of three spans. The middle 
span, which includes all of the creek at all but high stages, is 50 feet 
long, and the two end spans are 35 feet each. Gage heights are deter- 
mined directly from the bench mark, which is a nail driven horizon- 
tally into the upstream side of a large sycamore tree on the right bank 
about 100 feet below the bridge; elevation, 8.00 feet above the datum 
of the assumed gage.

COOSA RIVER AT ROME. 

Coosa River is formed at Rome by the junction of Etowah and 
Oostanaula rivers. Both the tributary rivers rise in the northern part 
of Georgia and flow for the most part through a hilly, broken countr}?^, 
well wooded, about one-fourth of the land being under cultivation. 
The channel of the Etowah is straight and the current swift and 
unobstructed, but the Oostanaula is rather sluggish and somewhat 
obstructed by piers. The banks are high and are liable to overflow 
at high stages. The gage is in two sections: The first, to 5 feet, is 
fastened to the downstream left-hand corner of the cofferdam around 
the center pier of the turn span; the second, 5 to 44 feet, is fastened 
to the downstream side of the same pier. The zero of the gage is 576 
feet above sea level. 

The measurements at Rome are made on the Oostanaula and the 
Etowah just above their junction. The Etowah is measured at the 
Second Avenue Bridge, and the Oostanaula at the Fifth Avenue 
Bridge in Rome, and the results are added to give the flow of the 
Coosa. The gage height is taken from the United States Weather 
Bureau gage at the Fifth Avenue Bridge on the Oostanaula. There is 
practically no fall on Oostanaula River from the Fifth Avenue Bridge 
to the junction; hence the gage is used as a Coosa River gage, and 
the gage heights are considered as gage heights of Coosa River. The

WATER RESOURCES OF GEORGIA. 



Weather Bureau established tliis gage m 1890, but now maintains it 
only from November 1 to April 30 ; W. M. Towers, the observer, has, 
however, furnished the Geological Survey with monthly reports of the 
tlaily gage height for the entire year. 

The station was discontinued December 31, 1903, on account of the 
uncertain velocity at low stages of the Oostanaula section.

OOSTANAULA RIVER AT RESACA. 

This station is located at the bridge of the Western and Atlantic 
Railway, in the town of Resaca, 800 feet south of the depot. It is a 
United States Weather Bureau station at which the gage readings are 
maintained for half the year only. During the years 1896 to 1898, 
inclusive, the United States Geological Survey maintained the gage for 
the other half of the year, making the gage height record complete, 



MOBILE DEAINAGE BASIN, STREAM FLOW.

but for other years only the half-year records of the Weather Bureau 
are available. No estimates of discharge were made from 1901 until 
the beginning of 1905, when the station was reestablished. 

The channel is slightly curved, the same curve extending about 300 
feet above and below the bridge. The current is moderate, becoming 
rather sluggish at low water. The right bank is rock at the edge of the 
water, and has a solid stone abutment and railroad embankment above 
high-water level. The left bank is low, cultivated, and overflows dur- 
ing high water 480 feet to the end of the trestle. The bed of the stream 
is composed of rock near the right bank, but other parts appear to be 
sandy; to the left of the pier it is nearly filled up with logs and brush. 
There is one channel, broken by one pier at ordinary water. 

Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of the 
iron bridge, which consists of three spans of 120 feet each, and 480 feet 
of trestle approach at the left bank. The left span of the bridge is 
entirely outside of the river, except at high water. Measurements are 
also made from a boat at the ferry about 200 feet above the bridge, 
where the section is somewhat better. The initial point for soundings 
is the end of the bridge at the right bank, downstream side. 

Gage heights are observed from the United States Weather Bureau 
gage, which is a heavy timber attached vertically to the downstream 
side of the center pier of the bridge. Bench marks were established as 
follows: (1) The top of the downstream end of the second crossbeam 
from the right bank; elevation, 38.94 feet. (2) A cross mark on the 
top of the limestone bowlder on the north side of the river, about 130 
feet from the end of the railroad bridge and 40 feet west of the railroad 
track; elevation, 34.23 feet. Elevations refer to the datum of the 
gage.

COOSA WATTEE RIVER AT CARTERS. 



This river, wliich is formed by the junction of ElHjay and Cartecay 
rivers at Ellijay, flows in a southwesterly direction, joining the Cona- 
sauga to form the Oostanaula. Its drainage area is for the most part

WATER RESOURCES OF GEORGIA. 



mountainous and covered with forest growth. The gaging station was 
estabUshed August 15 1896, by M. R. Hall, at the iron liighway bridge 
at Carters, Murray County, Ga. Carters is at the head of navigation, 
small boats running to Rome, Ga., and the Coosa River below. It is 
at the foot of the great shoals made by this stream in cutting through 
the Cohutta Mountains. The channel is curved for 1,000 feet above 
and 500 feet below the station. The current is swift and broken. Both 
banks are high, but overflow at flood stages. The bed of the stream is 
of gravel and is not liable to change. Discharge measurements are 
made from the single-span highway bridge and its approaches. The 
initial point for soundings is the land side of the pier on the right bank. 
A standard chain gage is attached to the downstream side of the 
bridge in the third panel from the right bank; length of chain, 36.57 
feet. The observer is R. P. Messer, who reads the gage once a day. 
Bench marks were established as follows : ( 1) The top of the cylindrical 
iron pier at the right bank, downstream side; elevation, 30.35 feet. 
( 2) The top of a stone post set into the ground on the north side of the 
river, about 300 feet from the end of the iron bridge and on the west 
side of the road leading toward Carter's mill; elevation, 22.15 feet. 
Elevations refer to the datum of the gage.

CARTECAY RIVER NEAR OARTECAY. 

This station was established June 27, 1904, by M. R. Hall. It is 
located at the Cartecay Bridge on the public road 6 miles upstream 
from Ellijay and IJ miles northwest of Cartecay. Turkey Creek 
enters from the south side and Owltown Creek from the north side 
between this point and Ellijay. There is probably no considerable 
interference from dams above the station. 

The channel is straight for about 500 feet above and below the sta- 
tion. The current is swift. Both banks are high, but are subject to 
overflow. The bed of the stream is composed of bowlders and is 
probably permanent, the water flowing in one channel. 

Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of 
the single 60-foot span wooden bridge. The bridge has an approach 
on the right ba,nk of 24 feet and on the left bank of 26 feet. The 
initial point for soundings is the edge of the abutment on the right 
bank, downstream side. 

The gage is a vertical 10-foot timber^ fastened to the sill and down- 
stream post of the trestle bent at the right bank. It is read once each 
day by S. A. Burrell. The bench mark is the top of the downstream 
end of the first floor beam from the right bank, marked by nails and 
white paint; elevation, 16.50 feet above the datum of the gage.

ELLIJAY RIYER, AT ELLIJAY. 

This station was established June 28, 1904, by M. R. Hall, It is 
located at a wagon bridge about one-half mile east of Ellijay, and 
about the same distance above the junction of Ellijay and Cartecay 
rivers. 

The channel is straight for about 500 feet above and below the 
station. The right bank is about 12 feet high and the left about 10 
feet. Both banks are bordered by fields and are subject to overflow. 
There is one channel, broken by one wooden pier. The bed of the 
stream is composed of rock, and the current ranges from very swift 
above the station to sluggish below. 

Discharge measurements are made from the open wooden wagon 
bridge, which has two 40-foot spans and 50-foot approaches on each 
bank. The initial point for soundings is the end of the bridge at the 
right bank, on the downstream side. 

A gage staff, reading from 2 to 6 feet, is nailed to the downstream 
vertical post at the right bank, and a bench mark established for 
reference. Regular gage readings are not maintained. The bench 
mark is a small nail and white paint mark in the downstream vertical 
post at the right bank; elevation, 7.00 feet above datum of the 
assumed gage.

MOUNTAINTOWN CREEK NEAR ELLIJAY. 



This station was established May 10, 1904, by O. P. Hall. It is 
located at the covered bridge, known as Charles Bridge, about 4 miles 
west of Ellijay, and about the same distance above the mouth of the 
creek. This bridge consists of a single span of 54 feet, with short 
trestle approaches at either end. Discharge measurements are madfe 
either from the bridge, where the meter is lowered through holes in 
the floor, or at a foot log half a mile below. The initial point for 
soundings is the end of the trestle approach at the right bank. 

The channel is straight for about 500 feet above and 100 feet below 
the station. Both banks are high and not liable to overflow. The

bed of the stream is rocky. The water is shallow and swift at the 
bridge, the better section being at the foot log below the bridge. 

Gage heights are determined directly from the bench mark, which 
is a nail driven into the vertical post of the main bent under the right 
end of the bridge 6 feet above the top of the mud sill of the bent; ele- 
vation, 7.00 feet above the datum of the assumed gage.

TALKING ROCK CREEK NEAR CARTERS. 

This station was established May 26, 1904, by O. P. Hall. It is 
located about 3 miles above the mouth of Talking Rock Creek and 
about the same distance east of Carters. Numerous measurements 
of the creek had previously been made in connection with measure- 
ments at the Coosawattee River station. 

Both banks are high and will probably not overflow. There is one 
chamiel at all stages. The section is .a good one. Discharge measure- 
ments are made from a boat just above R. L. Hill's boat landing, or 
by wading at a shoal a short distance below. Gage heights are deter- 
mined directly from the bench mark, which is a nail in a large elm 
tree on the left bank at R. L. Hill's boat landing; elevation, 7.50 feet 
above the datum of the assumed gage.

BIG CEDAR CREEK NEAR CAVESPRING. 



This station was established in 1905. It is located at the wagon 
oridge about 3 miles north of Cavespring, 1 mile below the Southern 
Railway bridge, and half a mile below the mouth of Little Cedar 
Creek. 

The channel is straight for about 200 feet above and 300 feet below 
the bridge. The right bank is low and will overflow to the extent of 
the 100-foot wooden approach. The left bank is high and will not 
overflow. The bed is of sand and mud, and is therefore probably

shifting. The current is sluggish at low stages. Measurements are 
made from the single iron span 91 feet long. The initial point for 
soundings is the end of the bridge at the left bank, upstream. 

Gage heights are determined directly from the bench mark, which 
is the top of the upstream end of the second floor beam from the right- 
bank end of the bridge; elevation, 20.00 feet above the datum of the 
assumed gage.

TALLAPOOSA RIVER AT BUCHANAN BRIDGE, NEAR TALLAPOOSA. 

This station was established October 21, 1901, by M. R. Hall. It 
is located at Buchanan Bridge, about 4 miles north of Tallapoosa, 
and about 2 miles above the station on Tallapoosa E,iver at Adder- 
hold Bridge. Discharge measurements are made from the single- 
span iron highway bridge, which has a trestle approach of 100 feet on 
the right bank and of 50 feet on the left bank. The initial point for 
soundings is the end of the bridge at the right bank, downstream side. 
The channel is straight for about 800 feet above and 1,000 feet below 
the station. The current is moderate above and swift below the 
measuring section and the banks rarely overflow. The bed of the 
stream is composed of rock and gravel, free from vegetation, and is 
probably constant; there is but one channel at all stages, broken at 
the higher levels by the piers and trestle work of the bridge. The 
bench mark is the top of the downstream end of the center floor beam, 
the third from either end; elevation, 25.25 feet above gage datum.

This station was established on January 7, 1901, by M. R. Hall. 
It is located at Adderhold Bridge, about 2 miles north of Tallapoosa, 
and about 2 miles below the station on Tallapoosa River at Buchanan 
Bridge. Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side 
of the single-span iron highway bridge, wliich has trestle approaches 
at either end. The initial point for soundings is the end of the

bridge at the left bank, downstream side. The channel is straight for 
about 300 feet above and 500 feet below the station. The current is 
swift above and sluggish below. Both banks are wooded and are 
subject to overflow under the trestle approaches during high water. 
The bed of the stream is composed of sand, and is probably constant. 
There is but one channel at all stages, broken during the higher levels 
by the piers and trestlework of the bridge. The bench mark is the 
top of the downstream end of the first floor beam from the left bank; 
elevation, 22.00 feet above gage datum.

SURVEY OF COOSAWATTEE RIVER. 

From May 2!) to July 12, 19()(), a survey of a part of Ooosawattee 
River was made, under the supervision of B. M. Hall, resident hydrog- 
rapher, by Olin P. Hall, who was field assistant, lovohnan, and topog- 
rapher. No camp outfit was carried. The levclman read his 
distances with the stadia, and identified land lines and tributaries 
from a township or district map of the old State survey. This map 
em])racos two land districts, the eleventh and the twenty-fifth. The 
eleventh was found to be correct, but the twenty-fifth was incorrect. 
The survey began at the Geological Survey gaging station at Carters, 
with zero of the gage as a level datum, and extended up the river to 
Ellijay, a distance of 24 miles. The total fall between the two places 
was found to be 581.6 feet. This 24 miles of river cuts through the 
Cohutta Mountains and enters the Paleozoic formation at Carter's 
mill, about 2 miles above the gaging station, which is the head of 
navigation on the river. It is along a continuous shoal, and the 
conditions are such that water power can be developed at any point 
desired. The only utilized power is at Carter's mill, where there is 
an 8-fo()t dam across the river.

WATER POV^^ER IN MOBILE RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN. 
ETOWAH RIVER. 

From Rome up to the Western and Atlantic railroad crossing, near 
Cartersville, a distance of 45 miles, Etowah River is mostly swift, but 
has no large shoals. The total fall is about 115 feet, which includes 
numerous small shoals. At a few places the fall is 5 or 6 feet in a mile 
or less, and at one place near Kingston the fall is 33 feet in 8^ miles. 
One and one-fourth miles below the railroad bridge, at the old 
Tumlin niill site, is the large corn mill of the Etowah Milling Company, 
utilizing about 6 feet of fall. 

Immediately below the railroad bridge is an old mill site from 
which the mill and the 5-foot dam are entirely gone. About 2 miles 
above the railroad bridge begins a very fine water power, which was 
once partly developed and, before the civil war, operated the 
Cooper Iron Works and a large flour mill. At present only the ruins 
of what is said to have been ''a half -million dollar plant" are to be 
seen. This power has a fall of 90 feet in about 6 miles. Above this 
point there are numerous good small power sites, some of which are 
developed, but no great falls occur until the upper portion of the 
river is reached. 

On Amicalola River, a large tributary of the Etowah, and on 
Etowah River above the mouth of the Amicalola, there are many 
excellent shoals having large amounts of fall.

HIWAS8EE RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN. 

DESCRIPTION OF BASIN. 

Hiwassee River rises in the northern part of Georgia and flows into 
Tennessee River about 30 miles above Chattanooga, Tenn. Its 
principal tributaries are the Toccoa (Okoee) and the Nottely. The 
United States Geological Survey has maintained, among others in 
this basin, the following stations: On Toccoa River near Blue Ridge, 
Ga. ; on the Okoee River at McCays, Tenn.; on Nottely River at 
Ranger, N. C. ; and on Hiwassee River at Murphy, N. C. The stations 
in North Carolina and Tennessee, mentioned above, are included here, 
as the data regarding the rivers in this basin will be valuable in 
estimating the flow of these streams at points above. 

STREAM FLOW- 
HIWASSEE IIIVER AT MURPHY, N. C. 

This station was established July 26, 1896, by E. W. Myers. It is 
located at the highway bridge in Murphy, N. C, about 80 feet above 
the Atlanta, Knoxville and Northern Railroad bridge and one-half 
mile above the mouth of Valley River. 

The channel is straight for about 500 feet above and below the 
station. The right bank is high and rocky and will not overflow. 
The left bank will overflow for a short distance around the abutment. 
The bed of the stream is rocky and rough, and makes soundings 
uncertain. The bed is permanent and the flow is rapid. Discharge 
measurements are made from the sidewalk on the upstream side of the 
single-span highway bridge. The bridge is 195 feet long, supported by 
stone abutments. The initial point for soundings is the end of the 
iron hand rail on the right bank, upstream side of the bridge. 

A standard chain gage is fastened to the top of the downstream end 
of the first iron floor beam from the right bank in the space between 
the bridge floor and the lower chords; length of chain, 27.05 feet. It 
is read once each day by Wflliam Mingus. Bench marks were estab- 
lished as follows: (1) The downstream side of the top of the stone 
pier at the right bank; elevation, 22.55 feet. (2) The top of the 
downstream end of the first iron floor beam from the right end of the 
bridge; elevation, 25.05 feet.

HIWASSEE DEAINAGE BASIN, STREAM FLOW. 



317 



NOTTELY RIVER AT RANGER, N. C. 

This station was established February 16, 1901, by O. P. Hall. It 
is located at the wooden wagon bridge one-half mile from the railroad 
station at Ranger, N. C, and one-fourth mile below the Atlanta, Knox- 
ville and Northern Railroad bridge. 

The bridge is at a flat bend in the river, the channel curving slightly 
above and below the station for 600 feet. The right bank is high, 
rocky, and somewhat wooded and will overflow around the end of the 
bridge for about 50 feet only. The left bank is low and will overflow 
for a distance of 700 feet at a gage height of from 15 to 18 feet. The 
bed of the stream is of gravel and sand and probably shifts considera- 
bly. The current is somewhat broken and irregular, mostly because 
of the piers. There is a moderate velocity and a depth of from 2 to 5 
feet at low stages. Discharge measurements are made from the 
wagon bridge, a wooden structure of 3 spans supported by 2 wooden 
piers and 2 stone abutments. The center span is 55 feet long, and the 
end spans are each 36 feet long. The floor of the bridge is about 20 
feet above low water. The initial point for soundings is the inside 
face of the stone abutment on the right bank. 

The gage is a vertical board in two sections, each 8 feet long, fas- 
tened to the left side of the first wooden pier from the right bank. 
The gage is read once each day by A. D. Kilpatrick. Bench marks 
were established as follows: (1) The heads of large wire nails driven 
into the top of the downstream end of the wooden cap on the left bent 
of the wooden pier nearest the right bank of the river; elevation, 20.05 
feet. (2) A cut on a maple tree 18 inches in diameter, 25 feet from 
the upstream side of the bridge on the right bank, 25 feet from the edge 
of the water; elevation, 15.00 feet.

WATER EESOURCES OF GEORGIA. 



TOCCOA RIVER NEAR BLUERIDGE. 

This stream, called Toccoa River in Georgia and Okoee River in 
Tennessee, has its source on the northern slopes of the Blue Ridge 
Mountains in Georgia and flows northwest into Hiwassee River. The 
area is covered with a fine growth of oak, hickory, and other hard 
woods. Tne station, established by B. M. Hall on November 25, 1898, 
is located at the Morganton Bridge, about 4 miles east of the town of 
Blueridge, Ga. The gage is a 14-foot rod, in two 7-foot sections, nailed 
to a tree on the right bank just below the bridge. It is graduated to 
feet and tenths and is set to conform to bench marks which were 
established October 15, 1896, and October 26, 1898. The measure- 
ments during 1896 were made at the railroad bridge about 3 miles 
below, but are referred to the present gage by comparison of the 
bench marks at the two bridges. The bench mark at the Morganton 
Bridge is on the top of the bridge floor, on the downstream side, 50 
feet from the initial point, and is 18.0 feet above the zero of the gage. 
The bridge was a wooden, queen-post, open bridge, in three spans, 
with a total length between abutments of 153 feet, but it has been 
remodeled and changed into a closed bridge, not suitable for use in 
making discharge measurements at such an irregular section. Meas- 
urements are now made at McCays, Tenn., where a gage has been 
established. 

The observer was W. E. Rogers, a farmer living about a quarter of a 
mile east of the gage. The station was discontinued March 31, 1903.

below the station. The right bank will overflow at about 14 feet 
gage height for about 500 feet, and the left bank at gage height 12 to 
20 feet for about 400 feet. The water is confined to one channel and 
the bed is probably constant. The current is fairh^ swift and the 
section is good for measurement. Discharge measurements are made 
from the suspension footbridge. 

The gage is in two sections, the inclined section reading from —0.3 
to 8.5 feet, set in a trench and held in place by posts driven into the 
ground. The vertical section, reading from 8 to 18 feet, is attached to 
the bridge posts on the right bank. The gage is read twice each day 
by Arch Ballew. Bench marks were established as follows: (1) The 
head of a large nail in the center of a post at the right-bank end of the 
footbridge on the downstream side; elevation, 16.10 feet; this post is 
an anchor post for the cable of the suspension bridge and may be 
pulled out of place. (2) A copper plug set in solid rock at the outer 
edge of the side ditch of the railroad bed, about 800 feet west of the 
railroad station at McCays, 11 feet north of the center of the track, 
and slightly higher than the railroad; elevation, 20.98 feet. Eleva- 
tions refer to the datum of the gage.

FIGHTINGTOWN CREEK AT M CAYS, TENN. 



This station was established August 27, 1904, for the purpose of 
making miscellaneous measurements. It is located about one-half 
mile above the mouth of the creek, which flows into Okoee River 
about one-half mile below the gaging station at McCays, Tenn. Fight- 
ingtown Creek is in Georgia, but its mouth is in Tennessee. 

Both banks are open cultivated lands, which will probably over- 
flow. The bed is sandy, and will probably change much. Discharge 
measurements are made by means of a b'oat or by wading. The 
bench mark is two small nails driven into the largest of a cluster of 
small maple sprouts on the right bank, 40 feet above the mouth of a 
small branch; elevation, 5.00 feet above datum of assumed gage.

MISCELLANEOUS MEASUREMENTS, llIWASSEE RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN IN 

GEORGIA. 

Fightingtown Creek. — This stream is a tributary of Toccoa River. 
A measurement was made October 4, 1904, at the Galloway bridge, 
near Blueridge, above the Horseshoe Bend. 

Width, 33 feet; area, 25 square feet; mean velocity, 1 foot per second; discharge, 
25 second-feet. 

Toccoa River.^This stream is a tributary of Hiwassee River, its 
name becoming Okoee River in the State of Tennessee. A measure- 
ment was made October 3, 1904, from a small boat at Bench Leg 
Ford, near Bhieridge, 1 mile below the Morganton road bridge, and 
one-fourth mile below the mouth of Weaver Creek. 

Width, 110 feet; area, 264 square feet; mean velocity, 0.65 foot per second; dis- 
charge, 172 second-feet. 

RIVER SURVEYS IN HIWASSEE RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN. 

HIWASSEE RIVER. 

The elevations in the following list are based on an aluminum 
tablet marked "1984 Atlanta" at the northeast corner of front 
vestibule of Towns County court-house, Hiwassee, the elevation of 
which is accepted as 1,983.634 feet above sea level. 

The leveling is adjusted with flying levels on Nottely River to 
accord with the 1903 adjusted elevation of the primary bench marks 
at Blairsville and Hiwassee. From the mouth of the Nottely to Apa- 
lachia the leveling is a single spur line. 

The leveling was done in 1903 by Thomas B. O'Hagan, levelman, 
under the direction of Carroll Caldwell, field assistant. United States 
Geological Survey.

SURVEY OF NOTTELY RIVER. 

The elevations in the following list are based upon a bronze tablet 
marked " 1892 Atlanta" in the foundation wall at northwest corner 
of Union County Court-House, Blairsville, the elevation of which is 
accepted as 1,891.536 feet above mean sea level. The leveling is 
adjusted with the Hiwassee River flying levels to accord with the 
1903 adjusted elevation of primary bench marks at Blairsville and 
Hiwassee. The leveling was done in 1903 by Thomas B. O'Hagan, 
levelman, under the direction of Carroll Caldwell, field assistant, 
United States Geological Survey.

SURVEY OF TOCCOA RIVER. 

The elevations in the following list are based upon an aluminum 
tablet at the Washington street entrance of the State capitol build- 
ing at Atlanta, marked " 1050 M. C./' the elevation of which is now 
accepted as 1049.546 feet above sea level. They accord with the 
1903 adjusted elevations of primary bench marks near Morganton 
and Shallow Ford. The section, Shallow Ford to McCays Ferry, 
is a single spur line. 

The leveling was done in 1903 by Thomas B. O'Hagan, levelman, 
under the direction of Carroll Caldwell, field assistant United States 
Geological Survey.

CLASSIFICATION OF THE PUBLICATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL 

SURVEY. 

[Water-Supply Paper No. 197.] 

The publications of the United States Geological Survey consist of (1) Annual 
Reports, (2) Monographs, (3) Professional Papers, (4) Bulletins, (5) Mineral 
Resources, (6) Water-Supply and Irrigation Papers, (7) Topographic Atlas of United 
States — folios and separate sheets thereof, (8) Geologic Atlas of United States — 
folios thereof. The classes numbered 2, 7, and 8 are sold at cost of publication; the 
others are distributed free. A circular giving complete lists can be had on application. 

Most of the' above publications can be obtained or consulted in the following ways: 

1. A limited number are delivered to the Director of the Survey, from whom they 
can be obtained, free of charge (except classes 2, 7, and 8), on application. 

2. A certain number are delivered to Senators and Representatives in Congress 
for distribution. 

3. Other copies are deposited with the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, 
D. C, from whom they can be had at prices slightly above cost. 

4. Copies of all Government publications are furnished to the principal public 
libraries in the large cities throughout the United States, where they can be consulted 
by those interested. 

The Professional Papers, Bulletins, and Water-Supply Papers treat of a variety of 
subjects, and the total number issued is large. They have therefore been classified into 
the following series: A, Economic geology; B, Descriptive geology; C, Systematic 
geology and paleontology; D, Petrography and mineralogy; E, Chemistry and phj's- 
ics; F, Geography; G, Miscellaneous; H, Forestry; I, Irrigation; J, Water storage; 
K, Pumicing water; L, Quality of water; M, General hydrographic investigations; 
N, Water power; O, Underground waters; P, Hydrographic progress reports; Q, 
Fuels; R, structural materials. This paper is the twenty-second in Series M and 
the twelfth in Series N, the complete lists of which follow (WS= Water-Supply 
Paper ) :
